DESCRIPTION:The main goal of targeted self-assembly is to spontaneously or
 ganize building blocks into a desired pattern by manipulating their local 
 interactions with each other and their environment. Entropic forces can\, 
 despite being common and erroneously associated with disorder\, be used to
  assemble a myriad of highly complex equilibrium structures. In this talk 
 I will demonstrate how directional entropic forces can be used to predicta
 bly self-assemble many structures of current interest and how Entropy play
 s a significant role in processes ranging from packing to folding.\n\n# Da
