https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/14686996.2018.1553108<\/a><\/p>\n \"Self-assembly has been widely researched in chemistry, specifically supramolecular chemistry, says Ariga. \"I believe that self-assembly can also be the next main player for nanotechnology and materials science, that is, materials nanoarchitectonics.\"<\/p>\n Ariga adds that recent research on self-assembly had led to the development of \"architecting living-creature-like highly sophisticated systems\" with a wide variety of components working together with synchronous harmony.<\/p>\n Ariga and his colleagues decided to write this paper because they had previously published an \"epoch making review in STAM Challenges and breakthroughs in recent research on self-assembly\" [2] and wanted to publish an updated review on similar topics but with different perspectives after a 10-year interval.<\/p>\n The paper is open access with 349 highly relevant references and covers three main areas: general examples of self-assembly research as a background to the review; general overview of self-assemblies at interfaces; and finally, self-assembly processes at more specific interfaces.<\/p>\n On receiving the 2021 STAM Journal's Best Paper Award and views about STAM, Ariga says: \"I feel deeply honoured.
