Bridget Kendall and guests explore the amazing world of 'Self Assembly'. Cells working together to build a human embryo, a swarm of bees, robots joining forces to explore challenging terrain. These are all examples of self assembly - the coming together of simple units to form something of great complexity. Bridget is joined by experimental biologist Jamie Davies, chemical engineer and physicist Sharon Glotzer and robotics engineer Roderich Gross.
