Contains papers and discussions from a September 1996 workshop on an emerging field which combines insights from chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, and engineering. Subjects include modular assembly of surface heterostructures from inorganic clusters and polyelectrolytes, photopatterning to create new structures on surfaces, the control of DNA structure, assembly of oriented nanometer channels on organic layers, and semiconductor nanocrystals as molecules and building blocks. Other topics include self-assembly of molecular materials, cycloadducts of carbon rings, and crystal engineering of ionic solids. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
