Chemical Communication between Giant Vesicles and Gated Nanoparticles for Strip-Based Sensing.

Inspired by nature, the development of artificial micro/nanosystems capable of communicating has become an emergent topic in nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and related areas. However, the demonstration of actual applications still has to come. Here, we demonstrate how chemical communication between micro- and nanoparticles can be used for the design of sensing systems.
