Fluorescence photoswitching in autofluorescencerich in vivo environments is demonstrated by Sehoon Kim, Chong Rae Park, and co‐workers on page 5574. Nanoscopic dense integration between solid‐state emission and photochromism provides nanococktails capable of photoswitching of bright NIR fluorescence with high on/off contrast, bistability, and improved signal identification. These nanoprobes represent great progress in the field of fluorescence bioimaging.
