Light enables precise visualization and control of cellular processes, but its utility in deep tissues is fundamentally limited by poor optical penetration, particularly in the deep brain. Ultrasound-triggered mechanoluminescence offers a non-invasive strategy for remote light delivery, yet existing organic systems remain monochromatic and low-intensity, largely due to an incomplete understanding of ultrasound-induced emission. Here, we report a multicolor mechanoluminescence platform that couples reactive oxygen species-responsive chemiluminescent donors with fluorescent acceptors via Förster resonance energy transfer, generating tunable emission from blue (459 nm) to red (592 nm). Systematic screening potentially reveals that electronic energy gap-dependent reactive oxygen species generation serves as a predictive design principle for high-performance mechanoluminescent materials. The emitted spectrum and intensity are sufficient to activate ChR2 and ChRmine and inhibit eOPN3, enabling bidirectional, fiber-free neuromodulation under focused ultrasound. By integrating spatially precise ultrasound with programmable photon output, this platform establishes a non-invasive strategy for deep-tissue neural monitoring and provides a foundation for applications in bioimaging, gene editing, and precision therapeutics.
