Abstract

Fluorescent sensors [1] have great potential to operate as molecular-level devices [2] in nanospaces. Generally, a fluorescent sensor monitors a single parameter of its local environment, such as ion concentration. More functionalized systems which operate according to similar principles are molecular logic gates.[3] These gates respond to multiple parameters simultaneously according to defined Boolean transformations. There are also ...
