Like mapping other worlds In their Communication on page 4667 ff., A. P. de Silva et al. describe proton concentration maps of detergent micelles obtained by the fluorescent multiplexing sensors (space‐filling model). These sensors can change their positions and report information comprised of p K a values and emission wavelengths. These sensors serve as nanosized robot vehicles, as they send detailed data from humanly inaccessible environments.
