Effect of Basic Principles of Self-Assembly Process on Quantum Dots

For a long time, scientists have been looking for the working mechanisms of self-assembly that are capable of building a cell (that is, a complex biological organism) and also a crystal (a much simpler inorganic material) in the same manner.
