Abstract
Abiotic stress tends to induce oxidative damage to enzymes and organelles that in turns hampers the phosphorylation process and decreases the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) productivity. Artificial assemblies can alleviate abiotic stress and simultaneously provide nutrients to diminish the oxidative damage. Here, we have integrated natural acid phosphatase (ACP) and ATP synthase with plasmonic Au clusters in a biomimetic microreactor. ACP immobilized on the Au clusters is harnessed to generate proton influx to drive ATP synthase and concurrently supply phosphate to improve phosphorus availability to combat phosphorus-deficiency stress. In tandem with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and the photothermal functionality of Au clusters, such an assembled microreactor exhibits an improved abiotic stress tolerance and achieves plasmon-accelerated ATP synthesis. This innovative approach offers an effective route to enhance the stress resistance of ATP synthase-based energy-generating systems, opening an exciting potential of these systems for biomimicking applications.

Abstract
Given the creation of materials based on nanoscale science, nanotechnology must be combined with other disciplines. This role is played by the new concept of nanoarchitectonics, the process of constructing functional materials from nanocomponents. Nanoarchitectonics may be highly compatible with applications in biological systems. Conversely, it would be meaningful to consider nanoarchitectonics research oriented toward biological applications with a focus on materials systems. Perhaps, hydrogels are promising as a model medium to realize nanoarchitectonics in biofunctional materials science. In this review, we will provide an overview of some of the defined targets, especially for tissue engineering. Specifically, we will discuss (i) hydrogel bio-inks for 3D bioprinting, (ii) dynamic hydrogels as an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM), and (iii) topographical hydrogels for tissue organization. Based on these backgrounds and conceptual evolution, the construction strategies and functions of bio-gel nanoarchitectonics in medical applications and tissue engineering will be discussed.

Abstract
Developing new methods to engineer photobiocatalytic reactions is of utmost significance for artificial photosynthesis, but it remains a grand challenge due to the intrinsic incompatibility of biocatalysts with photocatalysts. In this work, photocatalysts and enzymes were spatially colocalized at Pickering droplet interfaces, where the reaction microenvironment and the spatial distance between two distinct catalysts were exquisitely regulated to achieve unprecedented photobiocatalytic cascade reactions. As proof of the concept, ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets loaded with Au nanoparticles were precisely positioned in the outer interfacial layer of Pickering oil droplets to produce H2O2 under light irradiation, while enzymes were exactly placed in the inner interfacial layer to catalyze the subsequent biocatalytic oxidation reactions using in situ formed H2O2 as an oxidant. In the alkene epoxidation and thioether oxidation, our interfacial photobiocatalytic cascades showed a 2.0-5.8-fold higher overall reaction efficiency than the photobiocatalytic cascades in the bulk water phase. It was demonstrated that spatial localization of the photocatalyst and the enzyme at Pickering oil droplet interfaces not only provided their respective preferable reaction environments and intimate proximity for rapid H2O2 transport but also protected the enzyme from oxidative inactivation caused by the photogenerated species. These remarkable interfacial effects contributed to the significantly enhanced photobiocatalytic cascading efficiency. Our work presents an innovative photobiocatalytic reaction system with manifold benefits, providing a cutting-edge platform for solar-driven chemical transformations via photobiocatalysis.

Abstract
It has become clear that superior material functions are derived from precisely controlled nanostructures. This has been greatly accelerated by the development of nanotechnology. The next step is to assemble materials with knowledge of their nano-level structures. This task is assigned to the post-nanotechnology concept of nanoarchitectonics. However, nanoarchitectonics, which creates intricate three-dimensional functional structures, is not always easy. Two-dimensional nanoarchitectonics based on reactions and arrangements at the surface may be an easier target to tackle. A better methodology would be to define a two-dimensional structure and then develop it into a three-dimensional structure and function. According to these backgrounds, this review paper is organized as follows. The introduction is followed by a summary of the three issues; (i) 2D to 3D dynamic structure control: liquid crystal commanded by the surface, (ii) 2D to 3D rational construction: a metal-organic framework (MOF) and a covalent organic framework (COF); (iii) 2D to 3D functional amplification: cells regulated by the surface. In addition, this review summarizes the important aspects of the ultimate three-dimensional nanoarchitectonics as a perspective. The goal of this paper is to establish an integrated concept of functional material creation by reconsidering various reported cases from the viewpoint of nanoarchitectonics, where nanoarchitectonics can be regarded as a method for everything in materials science.

Abstract
The next step in nanotechnology is to establish a methodology to assemble new functional materials based on the knowledge of nanotechnology. This task is undertaken by nanoarchitectonics. In nanoarchitectonics, we architect functional material systems from nanounits such as atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials. In terms of the hierarchy of the structure and the harmonization of the function, the material created by nanoarchitectonics has similar characteristics to the organization of the functional structure in biosystems. Looking at actual biofunctional systems, dynamic properties and interfacial environments are key. In other words, nanoarchitectonics at dynamic interfaces is important for the production of bio-like highly functional materials systems. In this review paper, nanoarchitectonics at dynamic interfaces will be discussed, looking at recent typical examples. In particular, the basic topics of "molecular manipulation, arrangement, and assembly" and "material production" will be discussed in the first two sections. Then, in the following section, "fullerene assembly: from zero-dimensional unit to advanced materials", we will discuss how various functional structures can be created from the very basic nanounit, the fullerene. The above examples demonstrate the versatile possibilities of architectonics at dynamic interfaces. In the last section, these tendencies will be summarized, and future directions will be discussed.
