A holy grail of nano-technology is to create truly complex, 
multi-component structures by self-assembly. Most self-assembly has 
focused on the creation of "structural complexity". In my talk, I will 
discuss "Addressable Complexity": the creation of structures that 
contain hundreds or thousands of distinct building blocks that all have 
to find their place in a 3D structure. Recent experiments have 
demonstrated the feasibility of making such structures. Simulation and 
theory yield surprising insights that can inform the design of novel 
structures and materials [1].
