If we look at living systems from the perspective of life, they are very complicated hierarchical non-equilibrium self-assemblies which are maintained by a cascade of energy utilization, transformation, and dissipation and dynamically stay away-fromequlibrium. Synthetic non-equilibrium assemblies analogously show high relevance for the studying of the phenomena of life and promise high potential to develop life-like intelligent materials. Since 2010, Boekhoven and coworkers have established the design and construction of chemically fueled non-equilibrium assemblies, a type of nonequilibrium assemblies sustained by inputting of chemical energy . The building elements include an activation/deactivation reaction cycle, a non-assembling precursor, and a self-assembling product. Specifically, a molecular precursor that cannot selfassemble is converted to a product that can self-assemble into ordered structures after reacting with a high-energy molecule . This conversion reaction is the activation reaction, and the high-energy molecule is the chemical fuel that is irreversibly converted into waste. The deactivation reaction which converts the product back into the disassembled precursors constitutes the second reaction in the activation/deactivation reaction cycle. Therefore, the assemblies are only present for a limited time until the chemical fuel is depleted. Then, the previously assembled structures can be regenerated by resupplying the system with the chemical fuel. Maintaining the non-equilibrium assembly thus requires continuous input of the chemical fuel.
