View source for Hinged blockchain self folding

{{stub}}

* A linear chain of blocks. (possibly [[foldamer]] bricks or other self-assemblies)
* Each block having reasonably high symmetry. 
* Blocks are linked together on edges to form a series of hinges.
----
* the chain shall fold to a final desired shape a bit akin to protein folding but more constrained an predictable
* driving force for the folding may be [[thermally driven selfassembly]] or larger scale forces like electrostatics
* assembly process may or may not be reversible (a structure stiffening post assembly interlinking may be desirable)
* Pre-prodction of the blocks and the unfolded blockchain may be done though [[self assembly]] and or [[positional assembly]]
