Possible map for the incremental path. The robo approach corresponds to path B in the diagram.

This is about a possible sub-branch of the incremental path.

The idea here is to scale up self-assembly capabilities of various foldamer technologies quite far (yellow or orange "too big to diffuse?" star in the diagram). And only then take a turn left in the diagram to more advanced materials.

Path marked with B in the diagram.

How would that look like in reality?

There would be quite advanced bottom up-self assembled foldamer based systems on chip.
Perhaps so far so that

• bottom up positional assembly has already reached and
• top down positional assembly became possible.

Basically low performance de-novo protein and other foldamer based productive nanosystems.

Applications

This could e.g. make quite big structures usable for:

• bigger gratings for neutral atom helium matter wave microscopes
• much bigger optical gratings like on butterfly wings (structural color)
• ...
