“…While it is widely appreciated that nanotechnology plays a central role in materials developments involving nanoscale structures, nanotechnology also provides substantial benefits in the development of nanoscale observation and fabrication techniques including deepening our understanding of novel phenomena on the nanoscale and their guiding physical principles [40][41][42][43]. The construction of functional materials from nanoscale units requires essential contributions from non-nanotechnology fields such as supramolecular chemistry with self-assembly/selforganization [44][45][46][47], materials fabrications [48][49][50], and biotechnology [51][52][53][54][55]. Therefore, materials preparation from nanometric units in the nanoscale regime should to be conducted under a novel concept involving the agglomeration of nanotechnology concepts with the above-mentioned diverse research disciplines.…”

The development of science and technology of advanced materials using nanoscale units can be conducted by a novel concept involving combination of nanotechnology methodology with various research disciplines, especially supramolecular chemistry. The novel concept is called 'nanoarchitectonics' where self-assembly processes are crucial in many cases involving a wide range of component materials. This review of self-assembly processes reexamines recent progress in materials nanoarchitectonics. It is composed of three main sections: (1) the first short section describes typical examples of self-assembly research to outline the matters discussed in this review; (2) the second section summarizes self-assemblies at interfaces from general viewpoints; and (3) the final section is focused on self-assembly processes at interfaces. The examples presented demonstrate the strikingly wide range of possibilities and future potential of self-assembly processes and their important contribution to materials nanoarchitectonics. The research examples described in this review cover variously structured objects including molecular machines, molecular receptors, molecular pliers, molecular rotors, nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanotubes, nanowires, nanoflakes, nanocubes, nanodisks, nanoring, block copolymers, hyperbranched polymers, supramolecular polymers, supramolecular gels, liquid crystals, Langmuir monolayers, Langmuir-Blodgett films, self-assembled monolayers, thin films, layer-by-layer structures, breath figure motif structures, two-dimensional molecular patterns, fullerene crystals, metal-organic frameworks, coordination polymers, coordination capsules, porous carbon spheres, mesoporous materials, polynuclear catalysts, DNA origamis, transmembrane channels, peptide conjugates, and vesicles, as well as functional materials for sensing, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, photovoltaics, charge transport, excitation energy transfer, lightharvesting, photocatalysts, field effect transistors, logic gates, organic semiconductors, thin-film-based devices, drug delivery, cell culture, supramolecular differentiation, molecular recognition, molecular tuning, and hand-operating (hand-operated) nanotechnology.

“…One of the important scientific and technological challenges would be understanding biological mechanisms and biomedical applications. − Among various biorelated functions such as drug delivery and biomolecular regulations, the control of life units such as living cells is an attractive target in current science and technology. In this section, two examples of cell fate controls using Langmuir nanoarchitectonics are introduced.…”

Methodology to combine nanotechnology and these organization processes has been proposed as a novel concept of nanoarchitectonics, which can fabricate functional materials with nanolevel units. As an instant nanoarchitectonics approach, confining systems within a two-dimensional plane to drastically reduce translational motion freedom can be regarded as one of the rational approaches. Supramolecular chemistry and nanofabrication and their related functions at the air-water interface with the concept of nanoarchitectonics would lead to the creation of a novel methodology of Langmuir nanoarchitectonics. In this feature article, we briefly summarize research efforts related to Langmuir nanoarchitectonics including the basics for anomalies in molecular interactions such as highly enhanced molecular recognition capabilities. It is also extended to frontiers including the fabrication of supramolecular receptors and two-dimensional patterns with subnanometer-scale structural regulation, manual control of molecular machines and receptors by hand-motion-like macroscopic actions, and the regulation of cell fates at nanoarchitected arrays of nanocarbon assemblies and at direct liquid interfaces.

In 2016, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for pioneering work on molecular machines. Half a year later, in Toulouse, the first molecular car race, a "nanocar race", was held by using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope as an electrical remote control. In this Focus Review, we discuss the current state-of-the-art in research on molecular machines at interfaces. In the first section, we briefly explain the science behind the nanocar race, followed by a selection of recent examples of controlling molecules on surfaces. Finally, motion synchronization and the functions of molecular machines at liquid interfaces are discussed. This new concept of molecular tuning at interfaces is also introduced as a method for the continuous modification and optimization of molecular structure for target functions.
