This video shows the spontaneous self-assembly of dendrimeric surfactant molecules in water studied with coarse grain molecular dynamics. The specific molecule shown in this example was designed to self-assemble fast and produce very stable bilayers. The simulation covers about 20 nanoseconds simulation time.
now I want to do this on my graphics card... ill just have to wait a week or two :D

Very good for teaching. I'm reminded of a film of oil on the top of a pan in the sink. slowly but surely the oil bubbles spontaneously find each other. Organization from chaos. Just one more example in nature.
