A solution-phase process has been developed by CNM users from the University of California at Riverside, working collaboratively with the Nanophotonics Group at the Argonne National Laboratory, for synthesizing stable multifunctional colloidal particles composed of a superparamagnetic Fe3O4 core, a gold nanoshell, and a mesoporous silica outer layer.
