Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond molecules: Self-assembly of mesoscopic and macroscopic components
TL;DR: Although much of the work in self-assembly has focused on molecular components, many of the most interesting applications of self-assembling processes can be found at larger sizes (nanometers to micrometers).
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic self-assembly of three-dimensional surfaces from planar sheets

TL;DR: This report describes the spontaneous folding of flat elastomeric sheets, patterned with magnetic dipoles, into free-standing, 3D objects that are the topological equivalents of spherical shells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making Things by Self-Assembly
TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoscale self-assembly method is proposed to fabricate hard-to-fabricate structural components using mesoscaling self-assembling components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Millimeter-scale self-assembly and its applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the principles of self-assembly at the molecular and millimeter scales, reviews the possible applications of meso-scale, self-assembled systems, and outlines some of the most important issues in the use of selfassembly to build functional systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic self-assembly of a functional asymmetrical electronic device
TL;DR: This example demonstrates that biomimetic principles of design and self-organization can be applied to generate multifunctional electronic systems of complex, three-dimensional architecture.
