NIMPLY logic gate constructed using Hg(II)/Pt(IV) ions and the H-AuNS probe in the presence of HCl/Au(III)/H₂O₂ solution. (a) Schematic representation of the NIMPLY logic gate “Hg(II)/Pt(IV)(NIMPLY)–HAuNP”; (b) Bar diagram of output signals (formation of small AuNPs) in response to four different combinations of two inputs, Hg(II) (0, 10 μM) and Pt(IV) (0, 10 μM). The threshold line is set to the 0.3-fold signal output of true (on). Error bars represent standard deviations from three repeated experiments. Other conditions were the same as those described in Figure 1.
