The following are a list of open problems in self-assembly:
1) In his 1998 thesis [1], Winfree showed that the class of directed aTAM systems at temperature 2 is computationally universal, and in [2] Cook et. al. showed that undirected temperature 1 aTAM systems could perform computations with a given amount of certainty and that in 2 planes directed aTAM temperature 1 systems were computationally universal. Is the class of directed aTAM systems at temperature 1 in the plane computationally universal? In [3] Doty, Patitz, and Summers provide deep insights into this question.
