'Communication' between abiotic nanoscale chemical systems is an almost-unexplored field with enormous potential. Here we show the design and preparation of a chemical communication system based on enzyme-powered Janus nanoparticles, which mimics an interactive model of communication. Cargo delivery from one nanoparticle is governed by the biunivocal communication with another nanoparticle, which involves two enzymatic processes and the interchange of chemical messengers. The conceptual idea of establishing communication between nanodevices opens the opportunity to develop complex nanoscale systems capable of sharing information and cooperating.
非生物纳米尺度化学系统之间的“通信”是一个几乎未被探索但具有巨大潜力的领域。在这里,我们展示了基于酶驱动的双面纳米粒子设计和制备的化学通信系统,该系统模拟了一种交互式通信模型。从一个纳米粒子进行货物传递受到与另一个纳米粒子的双向通信的控制,其中涉及两个酶促过程和化学信使的交换。在纳米器件之间建立通信的概念为开发能够共享信息和协作的复杂纳米尺度系统提供了机会。
