DESCRIPTION:Prof. Daan Frenkel\, Department of Chemistry\, University of C
 ambridge U.K.\nA holy grail of nano-technology is to create truly complex\
 , multi-component structures by self assembly.\nMost self-assembly has foc
 used on the creation of `structural complexity'. In my talk\, I will discu
 ss `Addressable Complexity': the creation of structures that contain hundr
 eds or thousands of distinct building blocks that all have to find their p
 lace in a 3D structure.\nRefs:\nA. Reinhardt and D. Frenkel\, Phys. Rev. L
