  • Method and system using microscopic building blocks for driving 3D self-assembly
    Patent number: 9446950
    Abstract: A method and system for constructing structures by self-assembly of objects. The method and system include providing a first object having a first selected shape and providing a second object having a second selected shape, the shape of the first and second objects interacting to form an alignment which has only a simple stable state arising from minimization of interaction energy for the single stable state.
