description We report that Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Au core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) serve as a multifunctional molecule delivery platform. This platform is also suitable for sensing the doxorubicin (DOX) through DNA hybridization, and the amount of carried DOX molecules was determined by size-dependent Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Au NPs. The limits of detection (LODs) for DOX was found to be 1.839 nM. In our approach, an Au nano-shell coating was coupled with a specially designed DNA sequence using thiol bonding. By means of a high-frequency magnetic field (HFMF), a high release percentage of such a molecule could be efficiently achieved in a relatively short period of time. Furthermore, the thickness increase of the Au nano-shell affords Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Au NPs with a larger surface area and a smaller temperature increment due to shielding effects from magnetic field. The change of magnetic property may enable the developed Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@Au-dsDNA/DOX NPs to be used as future nanocarrier material. More importantly, the core-shell NP structures were demonstrated to act as a controllable and efficient factor for molecule delivery.
