A light‐controlled, smart‐gating nanochannel has been realized by photo‐induced pH change in the environmental solution, which can drive the conformation response of motor‐DNA molecules on the inner surfaces of the nanochannel. Such ion‐gating might find applications in areas such as the control of mass‐delivery, sensing, catalysis, or related fields.
