Self-assembly represents a transformative frontier in nanoscience and nanotechnology, where molecules or nanoscale units autonomously organize into well-defined structures through specific, pre-designed interactions. This methodology stands at the crossroads of fundamental research and practical application, offering the potential to fabricate intricate architectures with precision down to the molecular or atomic scale. In optoelectronics, it enables the fabrication of advanced materials with tunable optical, electrical and chiral properties, crucial for sensors and light-manipulating devices. In biological systems, self-assembly drives essential mechanisms like molecular recognition and enzymatic activity, while inspiring bio-mimetic materials for diagnostics and therapeutics. In energy applications, it facilitates the design of high-efficiency materials for storage, conversion, and catalysis. For devices, self-assembly supports the creation of miniaturized, energy-efficient systems with complex functionalities. This broad applicability underscores its transformative potential across science and engineering. This underscores self-assembly's pivotal role in advancing both technological innovation and biomedical breakthroughs.
