报告摘要

Self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature, ranging from the generation of sand dunes to the formation of double helices of deoxyribonucleic acid. The exploration of self-assembly on the molecular level has offered scientists a powerful strategy for developing a range of materials for many useful applications.
