| Abstract | NONTECHNICAL SUMMARY This award supports theoretical research, computation, and associated education to investigate self-assembly. Self-assembly is a process by which nanometer-scale “building blocks” spontaneously associate into multi-unit structures, which underlies structure formation of a vast range of useful materials structures in the biological and synthetic world. This project aims to advance our basic understanding of an emerging “class” of such systems, known as geometrically-frustrate |
