However, all the systems described to date are based on nanoparticles (NPs) that are inherently photoresponsive, which makes their preparation cumbersome and can markedly hamper their performance. Here we describe a conceptually new methodology to assemble NPs reversibly using light that does not require the particles to be functionalized with light-responsive ligands. Our strategy is based on the use of a photoswitchable medium that responds to light in such a way that it modulates the interparticle interactions. NP assembly proceeds quantitatively and without apparent fatigue, both in solution and in gels. Exposing the gels to light in a spatially controlled manner allowed us to draw images that spontaneously disappeared after a specific period of time.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","publication":"Nature Chemistry","extern":"1","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2023-08-07T13:00:15Z","volume":7,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1755-4330"],"eissn":["1755-4349"]}}
