The interlocking of the black and white images in the Taiji diagram shows the on/off stage of functional nanosystems. Moreover, single fish mean a nanoparticle as a small unit, while a school of fish stands for the assembly of nanoparticles. This work is highlighted in article 1800359 by Fangyuan Li, Daishun Ling, and co‐workers, where the controllable assembly‐disassembly mutual switch or structural composition/conformation change can amplify the imaging signal, enhance the therapeutic effect, as well as achieve the desirable bioelimination in the living body.
