Photoresponsive molecular amphiphiles have been incorporated into distinct soft materials to control properties in high temporal and high spatial manners. We demonstrate molecular azobenzene amphiphiles for construction of chiral supramolecular assemblies with excellent photoresponsibility and a high capacity for supramolecular transformation in aqueous media. Supramolecular chiral structures of azobenzene amphiphiles can assemble from microscopic to macroscopic length scales
