Photo-responsive gel droplet as a nano- or pico-litre container comprising a supramolecular hydrogel.
Photo-responsive gel droplets having nano- or pico-L volume that showed photo-induced gel-sol transition were successfully developed, for which the inter-droplet mass transport and the subsequent enzymatic reactions in the interior of the gel droplets were photo-triggered.
