SUMMARY:SATisfaction guaranteed: inverse self-assembly as

DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;The goal of inverse self-assembly is to des
 ign inter-particle interactions capable of assembl
 ing the units into a desired target structure. Her
 e\, we propose a general framework named SAT-assem
 bly [1\,2]\, in which the interaction rules betwee
 n the building blocks are coloured according to th
 e solutions of a Boolean satisfiability problem (S
 AT) to ensure that all bonds are formed in the tar
 get structure. Additional conditions\, such as the
  non-satisfiability of competing structures [1\,2]
 \, the presence of azeotropic points [3]\, and two
 -step nucleation mechanisms [4]\, can also be impo
 sed\, allowing for effective engineering of the as
 sembly path and a significant increase in yield. W
 e will present several examples of successful in-s
 ilico assemblies\, ranging from photonic crystals 
 [1\,2\,5] to capsids [6]\, and the first experimen
 tal realization of some of these designs.
