In article number 2005526, Nadav Amdursky and co‐workers reveal that carbon‐dots can serve as superior proton‐mediators, where protein biopolymers are used as the protonic transport matrix. It is shown by ultrafast spectroscopy and electrical measurements that differently doped carbon‐dots can integrate differently to the protein biopolymer and, consequently, attenuate the protonic conductivity across the formed chimeric biopolymer.
