Nanoparticles, due to their broadly tunable functions, are major building blocks for generating new materials. However, building such materials for practical applications by self-assembly is quite challenging. Following the Faraday Discussion on “Nanoparticle Assembly: from Fundamentals to Applications” we discuss here the current trends in the field of self-assembly, including: understanding the unique interplay of molecular and nanoscale effects, a development of novel approaches for the creation of targeted nanoparticle architectures, advances in controlling dynamic behavior of systems and enabling new functions through specifically formed structures.

Next-generation nanotechnology demands new materials and devices that are highly efficient, multifunctional, cost-effective and environmental friendly. The need to accelerate the discovery of new materials therefore becomes more pressing than ever. Over the past two decades, self-assembly techniques have provided a promising means for fabricating nanomaterials, where the underlying structures are formed by the self-organization of building blocks, such as nanoparticles, colloids and block copolymers, in a similar fashion to biological systems. The fundamental challenges to these bottom techniques are to design suitable assembling units, to tailor their interaction rules and to identify possible assembly pathways. In this report, we will demonstrate how computer simulation has been a powerful tool for tackling these fundamental challenges, providing not only profound insights into the complex interplay between the building blocks’ geometry and their interactions, but also valuable predictions to inspire on-going and future experiment. Theoretical background of self-assembly studies; simulation methods and data analysis tools commonly used will also be discussed.

Concrete is one of the most vital building blocks, from columns, bricks, paving to roads made of concrete, so the use of concrete tends to be high. Concrete is often used as the main buffer in a building, so good quality is needed, but this is not accompanied by a declining quality of the material, so it requires innovation in the addition of new materials that can at least reduce the needs of the main material for making concrete, one of which is the utilization of Gypsum Board waste and red brick waste. The results of testing the concrete compressive strength test with the addition of Gypsum Board waste and red brick waste to cement obtained pretty good results. Concrete, which has the highest average compressive strength than normal concrete, has concrete with a mixture of red brick and gypsum waste of 10% each with a compressive strength of 250.56 kg / cm², and which has the lowest compressive strength have concrete with a mixture of red bricks and gypsum waste 15% each with a compressive strength of 195.56 kg / cm².Beton merupakan salah satu unsur penyusun bangunan paling vital mulai dari kolom,bata, paving hingga jalan terbuat dari beton sehingga penggunaan beton cenderung tinggi. Beton sering digunakan sebagai bahan penyangga utama pada suatu bangunan maka diperlukan kualitas yang baik, namun hal tersebut tidak di sertai dengan kualitas bahan yang kian menurun,makadiperlukan inovasi penambahan bahan baru yang setidaknya dapat mengurangi kebutuhan bahan utama pembuat beton, salah satunya pemanfaatan limbah Gypsum Board dan limbah batu bata merah Hasil dari pengetesan uji kuat tekan beton dengan penambahan limbah Gypsum Board dan limbah batu bata merah terhadap semen didapatkanhasil yang cukup bagus Beton yang memiliki nilai kuat tekan rata-rata paling tinggi selain beton normal di miliki beton dengan campuran batu bata merah dan limbah gypsum masing-masing 10% dengan nilai kuat tekan sebesar 250,56 Kg/cm²,dan yang memiliki nilai kuat tekan paling rendah di miliki beton dengan campuran batu bata merah dan limbah gypsum masing-masing 15% dengan nilai kuat tekan 195,56 Kg/cm².

Metamaterials are “new materials” with different superior physical properties, which have generated great interest and become popular in scientific research. Various designs and functional devices using metamaterials have formed a new academic world. The application concept of metamaterial is based on designing diverse physical structures that can break through the limitations of traditional optical materials and composites to achieve extraordinary material functions. Therefore, metadevices have been widely studied by the academic community recently. Using the properties of metamaterials, many functional metadevices have been well investigated and further optimized. In this article, different metamaterial structures with varying functions are reviewed, and their working mechanisms and applications are summarized, which are near-field energy transfer devices, metamaterial mirrors, metamaterial biosensors, and quantum-cascade detectors. The development of metamaterials indicates that new materials will become an important breakthrough point and building blocks for new research domains, and therefore they will trigger more practical and wide applications in the future.
