Investigate whether millimeter-scale polyhedral components patterned with electrical elements can autonomously assemble into functional three-dimensional electrical networks.
Patterned the surfaces of millimeter-scale polyhedra with solder dots, wires, and light-emitting diodes.
Utilized surface patterns to direct the self-assembly of components into interconnected structures.
Generated electrically functional, three-dimensional networks via self-assembly of patterned polyhedra.
Formed both parallel and serial circuit connections dictated by the precise arrangement of solder dots and wires.
