Functionally Complex Self-assembled Materials from Simple Subcomponents

Speaker

Jonathan R. Nitschke, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

Abstract

Complex self-assembly phenomena serve as a fundamental construction technique to create the complex and elegant biochemical machinery that makes up living systems. In seeking to understand the rules that may cause chemical systems to spontaneously self-organise, we have been able to design reactions in which complex structures may be cleanly generated from simple building blocks.[...] (Download entire abstract)
