Limitations of self-assembly at temperature 1
We prove that if a set X ⊆ Z2 weakly self-assembles at temperature 1 in a deterministic (Winfree) tile assembly system satisfying a natural condition known as pumpability, then ...

Triangular Self-Assembly
We discuss the self-assembly system of triangular tiles instead of square tiles, in particular right triangular tiles and equilateral triangular tiles. We show that the triangular...

Self-Assembly of Infinite Structures
We review some recent results related to the self-assembly of infinite structures in the Tile Assembly Model. These results include impossibility results, as well as novel tile as...

Memory Consistency Conditions for Self-Assembly Programming
: Perhaps the two most significant theoretical questions about the programming of self-assembling agents are: (1) necessary and sufficient conditions to produce a unique terminal a...

Activatable Tiles: Compact, Robust Programmable Assembly and Other Applications
While algorithmic DNA self-assembly is, in theory, capable of forming complex patterns, its experimental demonstration has been limited by significant assembly errors. In this pa...

Distributed Agreement in Tile Self-assembly
Abstract. Laboratory investigations have shown that a formal theory of fault-tolerance will be essential to harness nanoscale self-assembly as a medium of computation. Several rese...

Randomized Self-Assembly for Exact Shapes
— Working in Winfree’s abstract tile assembly model, we show that a constant-size tile assembly system can be programmed through relative tile concentrations to build an n × n...

Intrinsic Universality in Self-Assembly
We show that the Tile Assembly Model exhibits a strong notion of universality where the goal is to give a single tile assembly system that simulates the behavior of any other tile...
