Some Assembly Required
Abstract
Materials science has traditionally involved the study of the self-assembly of atoms or molecules into bulk thermodynamic phases. In her Perspective, Glotzer predicts that this field will be revolutionized by new materials made from larger, more complex building blocks designed to assemble in specific ways. These building blocks allow potentially much greater control over a material9s properties, enabling the design rather than the selection of materials for specific uses.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
