Self-Assembling Molecular Structures, Novel molecular structures and materials

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Nigel Bennee .

One of the holy grails of nano-science is to design complex structures that assemble themselves. This can only work if the different building blocks `know where to go’.

In my talk I will discuss some of the principles behind complex self-assembly. Some of these principles may be counter-intuitive (such as assembly due to an increase in entropy), others, such as the assembly of DNA -tagged particles, may sound more plausible, but are difficult to implement.

In my talk I will discuss some of the insights gained through computer simulations and I will argue that, whilst the field started slowly, the future looks bright.
