Hi‐fi mapping : Multiplexing fluorescent sensors that simultaneously target proton concentration and polarity move to micellar nanospaces, self‐regulate their positions, and report their p K a values and wavelengths, which are controlled by their local environments. Such sensory functions enable maps of proton gradients near micellar membranes to be drawn.
