Self Assembly thus transitioning between gas liquid and solid phases Polymorphism could be observed where the same structures could solidify in more than one crystalline form demonstrating the versatile nature of carbon as a building block for life Fluid Crystallization BioMolecular Self Assembly Skylar Tibbits Arthur Olson Autodesk inc The BioMolecular Self Assembly project completed for the TED Global Conference in 2012 is a project done in collaboration with molecular biologist Arthur Olson at the Scripps Research Institute and Autodesk This project demonstrates molecular self assembly through tangible and physical models The geometry and material components are based on various molecular structures including the tobacco plant virus a ferritin protein assembly and catechol dioxygenase enzyme Each beaker contains a single molecular structure colored either white red or black which could be shaken hard enough to break the structure apart or consistently yet randomly to allow for the self assembly of a complete and precise geometry BioMolecular Self Assembly Autonomous Mass Assembly Skylar Tibbits Arthur Olson Autodesk inc This project investigates chiral self assembly with many parts in order to explore the aggregate behavior of simultaneous assembly and self selection Roughly 240 pieces are agitated stochastically to self assemble closed dodecahedral molecular structures based on the polio virus capsid Patterns of attraction are designed within each part to specify chemical complementarity and chirality right and left handedness Over time and with the right amount of energy precise structures emerge complete and self sorted This continual process shows the various stages of assembly from independent parts to a mixture of assembled parts then a bath of fully assembled structures and finally with additional energy input broken again into autonomous pieces This work points towards a future of both tangible educational tools for non intuitive scientific phenomena as well as new possibilities for industrial scaleassembly applications Autonomous Mass Assembly Chiral Self Assembly Skylar Tibbits Arthur Olson Autodesk inc The Chiral Self Assembly project was produced for Autodesk University in Las Vegas also as a collaboration with Arthur Olson and Autodesk In this project we explored biomolecular chirality or the ability for a structure to have a right handed and left handed patterns The Chiral Self Assembly project aims to further exploit self assembly by demonstrating self sorting and error correcting structures When a number of self similar parts are shaken randomly the yellow colored parts and the black colored parts individually organize themselves into separate solid colored dodecahedrons showing separation and self selection Chiral Self Assembly Alternate attraction patterns showing Chirality Self Assembly Line Skylar Tibbits Arthur Olson SEED Phyllotaxis Lab The Self Assembly Line completed for TED Long Beach 2012 is a project done in collaboration with the molecular biologist Arthur Olson at the Scripps Research Institute and Seed s Phyllotaxis Lab This installation was a large scale version of a self assembly virus capsid demonstrated as an interactive and performative structure A discrete set of modules were activated by stochastic rotation from a larger container that promoted the interaction between units The unit geometry and attraction mechanisms ensured that units came into contact with one another and auto aligned into locally correct configurations Overtime as more units came into contact broke away and reconnected larger furniture scale elements emerged Given different sets of unit geometries and attraction polarities various structures could be achieved By
