Self assembly: the need for stability<\/p>\n

Molecular design and structural clarity<\/p>\n

Semiconductors to polymers, can we use<\/p>\n

Physics with chemistry to use less energy?<\/p>\n

A photo of the winning poem from No Assembly Required<\/em> by\u00a0Harmohan Sahota<\/span>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is the winning poem from an event that was run on the 29th March at The Science Museum, London in conjunction with the Royal Society. Researchers from The University of Liverpool, Cardiff University, and Manchester Metropolitan University hosted an exhibit called No Assembly Required<\/a><\/em>\u00a0as part of the Next Big Thing<\/a> event, which featured a series of activities that aimed to demonstrate the process of self-assembly in a fun and interactive manner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Self-Assembly team after a successful & enjoyable evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the activities required participants to create poetry using the most popular words from journal articles written by Dr Anna Slater<\/a> and Dr Tim Easun<\/a>. These words were made into fridge magnets (beautifully handcrafted by Anna), which participants then used to create pieces of poetry. As the winning author,\u00a0Harmohan Sahota will receive a\u00a0fine collection of science poetry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Timelapse of the No Assembly Required exhibit\u00a0can be viewed here<\/a>, and the full collection of self-assembled poetry can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An audio version of this poem can be heard here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
