As alike as two peas in a pod: Hollow iron-containing microspheres composed of nanoplate-like building blocks were synthesized by a straightforward strategy and readily converted into magnetic Fe3O4 hollow microspheres (see images) without noticeable structural deformation. These Fe3O4 microspheres...
