Self-Assembling Intelligent Lighter-than-air Structures
Through the use of flying automata (aerobots), the [ VOILES | SAILS ] project aims to port to the physical world some of the functionalities observed in artificial life systems, with a particular focus on simulations of assemblages and behaviors derived from the observation of animal societies (coral reefs, anthills) that can collectively produce high performance structures with extremely limit...
متن کاملCircuits and programmable self-assembling DNA structures.
Self-assembly is beginning to be seen as a practical vehicle for computation. We investigate how basic ideas on tiling can be applied to the assembly and evaluation of circuits. We suggest that these procedures can be realized on the molecular scale through the medium of self-assembled DNA tiles. One layer of self-assembled DNA tiles will be used as the program or circuit that leads to the comp...
متن کاملAlgorithmic design of self-assembling structures.
We study inverse statistical mechanics: how can one design a potential function so as to produce a specified ground state? In this article, we show that unexpectedly simple potential functions suffice for certain symmetrical configurations, and we apply techniques from coding and information theory to provide mathematical proof that the ground state has been achieved. These potential functions ...
متن کاملSelf-assembling cannabinomimetics: supramolecular structures of N-alkyl amides.
Certain fatty acid N-alkyl amides from the medicinal plant Echinacea activate cannabinoid type-2 (CB2) receptors. In this study we show that the CB2-binding Echinacea constituents dodeca-2E,4E-dienoic acid isobutylamide (1) and dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide (2) form micelles in aqueous medium. In contrast, micelle formation is not observed for undeca-2E-ene-8,10-diynoic acid...
متن کاملElectrodeposition of Au for Self-Assembling 3D Micro-Structures
Rotation of structures fabricated by planar processing into out-of-plane orientations can be used to greatly increase the 3-dimensionality of microstructures. Previously this has been achieved by a self-assembly process based on surface tension in meltable hinges. An important application is in fabricating vertical inductors on silicon, to reduce the substrate coupling and thus increase quality...
