Todo
- Outline by 8th November
 - Mount existing container on shaker
 
Experiments
- Self-assembly experiment at different speeds:
- Result: self-assembly time distribution for each speed; use in experiments speed with lowest average time to completion + 2 std. dev.
 
 - Test to verify role of seed:
- Passive components, no seed
 - Passive components, AND seed
 
 
Particulars of experiments (10 trials each)
- Self-assembly experiment at different speeds:
- Run each experiment till self-assembly of one target structure
- All components are seeds
 - Passive components, no seed
 - Passive components, AND seed
 
 - Use different speeds starting from lowest speed (= when components start to move) and increment speed by 25 rpm till target structure breaks.
 
 - Run each experiment till self-assembly of one target structure
 
- Assembly of one target structure (Data to be collected: number of individual components, number of compatible substructures, number of incompatible substructures, number of targets)
- All components are seeds
 - Passive components, no seed
 - Passive components, AND seed
 
 
- Assembly of two target structures (Data to be collected: number of individual components, number of compatible substructures, number of incompatible substructures, number of targets)
- All components are seeds
 - Passive components, no seed
 - Passive components, AND seed
 
 
- Video recording of experiments, probably one frame every seconds.
 
- Results to show
- Experiments for setting parameter (shaking speed)
 - Time evolution of self-assembly
 - Conf switch eliminates incompatible structures
 - Scaling
 - Removing the acceleration rump-up phase
 - Plot of Gibbs free energy
