Molecular demultiplexer as a terminator automaton

Molecular demultiplexer as a terminator automaton

Nanorobots will likely play a major role in future therapeutic approaches. Here, the authors develop a molecular automaton based on Zinc-BODIPY complexes that can autonomously switch between singlet oxygen generation and fluorescence emission, i.e., therapeutic and diagnostic modes.
