SUMMARY:The Unexpected Side of Entropy -  Professor Daan Frenkel ForMemRS\
 , Department of Chemistry
DTSTART:20120224T180000Z

CONTACT:Dr Xavier Moya
DESCRIPTION:During the past 60 years\, the traditional picture of entropy 
 as a measure of disorder has needed revision. This was largely driven by c
 omputer simulations\, but has been supported by experiments on colloidal s
 ystems. In my talk I will discuss some old examples of the unexpected role
  of entropy as an ordering force\, but I will also discuss more recent sur
 prises\, such as the importance of entropy in the self-assembly of DNA-fun
 ctionalized colloids and its possible relevance for targeted drug delivery
 .
