摘　　要：Life is an extremely delicate self-assembly system, where a rich array of small molecules, macromolecules and other entities associate and organize in an intrinsically diverse and precise manner. During the past few decades, scientists have devoted enormous efforts to fabricate functional materials, including the interesting self-assembled molecular devices that recently crowned with the 2016 Nobel Chemistry Prize, by self-assembly of natural and synthetic molecules/mac- romolecules. Nevertheless, it still remains an incredibly big challenge to approach the elegance of life self-assembly, predominantly as a consequence of limited diversity and accuracy of chemistry, structure, and supramolecular asso- ciation of the building blocks.Life is an extremely delicate self-assembly system,where a rich array of small molecules,macromolecules and other entities associate and organize in an intrinsically diverse and precise manner.During the past few decades,scientists
