This project aims to develop methods to create actively-driven self-assembled systems that do work on the environment in the way many natural functional assemblies operate. This project will combine the latest advances in supramolecular chemistry and non-equilibrium systems to discover how chemical energy drives the formation of transient self-assembled structures. An expected outcome from this project includes a new understanding of the relationship between the chemical fuel flows versus the spatial organisation of self-assembled systems, including living systems. The knowledge gained in this project will benefit the design of nanoscale self-assembled structures that can carry out work and complex mechanical tasks at much larger length scales.

该项目旨在开发方法来创建主动驱动的自组装系统，该系统以许多自然功能组件的运行方式在环境中发挥作用。该项目将结合超分子化学和非平衡系统的最新进展，探索化学能如何驱动瞬态自组装结构的形成。该项目的预期成果包括对化学燃料流与自组装系统（包括生命系统）的空间组织之间的关系有了新的认识。在该项目中获得的知识将有利于纳米级自组装结构的设计，该结构可以在更大的长度尺度上执行工作和复杂的机械任务。
