http://gibbs.che.psu.edu/acs/
This is the internet site for the next Colloid and Surface Science Symposium, to be held at Penn State University, University Park, PA, June 21-24, 1998. Some of the sessions related to experimental self assembly include Self-Assembled Monolayers, Surfactant Self-Assembly and Applications, and Emulsions, Foams and Thin Films.

'Biomolecular Self-Assembling Materials: Scientific and Technological Frontiers'
http://www.nas.edu/bpa/bmm.html
This is a comprehensive report prepared by the Panel on Biomolecular Materials of the National Academy of Sciences.

'Self-Assembly of Fullerene Tubes and Balls'
http://cnst.rice.edu/welch95.html
This report by Richard Smalley (1996 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry) and Daniel Colbert is on self assembly of a different kind - the creation of nanostructures based on fullerene chemistry.

'Nanotechnology'
http://nano.xerox.com/nano
