Viruses are nanoscale entities containing a nucleic acid genome encased in a protein shell called a capsid, and in some cases surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. This review summarizes the physics that govern the processes by which capsids assembles within their host cells and in vitro. We describe the thermodynamics and kinetics for assembly of protein subunits into icosahedral capsid shells, and how these are modified in cases where the capsid assembles around a nucleic acid or on a lipid bilayer. We present experimental and theoretical techniques that have been used to characterize capsid assembly, and we highlight aspects of virus assembly which are likely to receive significant attention in the near future.

Stochastic Yield Catastrophe in Delay-Facilitated Self-Assembly
Delay-facilitated self-assembly in two coupled compartments suffers a stochastic yield catastrophe at low target numbers, caused by the random order of subunit and structure exchange; size-selective exchange restores yield.

From toroids to helical tubules: Kirigami-inspired programmable assembly of two-periodic curved crystals
A kirigami-based mapping of 2D tilings to 3D curved crystals lets DNA origami triangles self-assemble into programmable toroids, serpentine tubules, and both chiralities of helical tubules.
