A perspective article by B. L. V. Prasad and D. S. Sidhaye (National Chemical laboratory, Pune, India) features on this month’s front cover. In this review article, the digestive ripening procedure is reviewed, discussed and its utility spanning the preparation of monodispersed nanoparticles, alloy nanoparticles, superlattice structures and the most interesting nano-machining is demonstrated.
