Hailed as one of the key areas of nanoscience likely to shape
future scientific research, self-assembly offers the most promising
route to true molecular nanotechnology. Focusing on this dynamic
new field, Self Assembly: The Science of Things That Put Themselves
Together explores nature's self-assembly of structures, the use of
it to build engineered systems, and the latest advances in the
field. Reflecting the inherent progress of the science of
self-assembly, this definitive book first delves into natural
self-assembling systems. It addresses crystal growth, soap films,
and micelles; examines how nature builds viruses, proteins, and
ribosomes; and introduces the protein folding problem. The author
then discusses how physicists, chemists, biologists, and engineers
are applying nature's principles to self-assemble everything from
DNA cubes to millimeter-scale electronic circuits. The final
chapters cover theoretical and experimental approaches to
understand the phenomenon of self-assembly and overcome its various
challenges. With practical activities, profiles of leading experts,
chapter highlights, exercises, and references, Self Assembly
provides the most current authoritative information on this
exciting branch of nanoscience.
