Common physical framework explains phase behavior and dynamics of atomic, molecular, and polymeric network formers

We show that the self-assembly of a diverse collection of building blocks can be understood within a common physical framework. These building blocks, which form periodic honeycomb networks and nonperiodic variants thereof, range in size from atoms to micron-scale polymers and interact through mecha...
