Abstract

Here we report functional stimulus-responsive nanomotors based on Janus Au-mesoporous silica nanoparticles capable of self-propelling via the biocatalytic conversion of chemical fuel, that read information from the environment (the presence of glutathione) and accordingly deliver a cargo.
