self-assembled astable multivibrator circuit

Self-assembly of a Functional Electronic Circuit Based on a Linear Mesoscale Tetramer. Solder droplets, selectively patterned on the faces of the blocks are employed to initiate, propagate and terminate the sequential alignment, registration, linking and electrical interconnection of each block. On contact, capillary interactions between the solder droplets cause the blocks to coalesce and self-assemble. Electrical characterisation following block assembly demonstrates the capillary force-based process successfully permits self-assembly and electrical interconnection of mesoscale blocks in a 1-D tetrameric format forming a functional electronic circuit.
