Abstract

The synthesis of compact nanostructures with highly integrated functionalities through the controlled assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) is potentially of broad interest in research fields such as drug delivery, multimodal imaging, and electronic devices.[1] This concept seems to be particularly important in view of the emerging concept of theranostic,[2] according to which both therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities can be present in two nanostructures.
