The image on the cover shows SHIPS, shell-isolated plasmonic superstructures, detecting the presence of picomoles Rhodamine 6G in an aqueous solution using shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). 
SHIPS
Extending Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy to Liquids Using Shell-Isolated Plasmonic Superstructures.Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Bert M. Weckhuysen at Utrecht University.  The image on the cover shows SHIPS, shell-isolated plasmonic superstructures, detecting the presence of picomoles Rhodamine 6G in an aqueous solution using shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS).
