Novel programmable vesicle may serve as hydrostatic pressure sensors

Caption

Membrane stiffness helps tune the optical responses of pyrene-modified polyionic complex vesicles (Pyr-PICsomes) to hydrostatic pressure. These nanovesicles demonstrate the impact of membrane structure on photophysical responses and pave the way for new smart materials with varied applications across disciplines.
