DESCRIPTION:\nOne of the holy grails of nano-science is to design complex 
 structures that assemble themselves. This can only work if the different b
 uilding blocks `know where to go’.\n\nIn 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)\, o
 thers\, such as the assembly of DNA-tagged particles\, may sound more plau
 sible\, but are difficult to implement.\n\nIn 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.
