Providing single source for information on how the concept of emergence works in chemical processes, this text offers a rigorous, yet accessible account of its importance to complex systems. Experimentalists and theorists in materials science, physics, and physical chemistry offer a unifying framework for integrating currently distinct theories on emergent phenomenon. They present a cohesive approach to understanding the emergence of function and the collective nonlinear interactions within molecular assemblies. Topics include nanoparticle self-assembly, bioassemblies, biomaterials, microfluidics, molecular electronics, and magnetic materials.
