Self assembly is NOT synonymous to thermally driven assembly!!
Nonthermal self assembly is a form of selfassembly that is not thermally driven.
Not all kinds of self assembly need diffusion driven by thermal motion to work.

There is:

Self-assembly can in various ways be mixed with positional assembly. Including:

Different kinds of self assembly in the foldamer printer concept

  • Squigglesembly – filling almost arbitrary volumes by tracing out a squiggly hilbert curve like path
    not to confuse with the squiggly line in structural DNA nanotechnology which is one-pot self-assembly.
  • Circumsembly – circumnavigating irreversible errors
    Some errors might be tolerable in the final product especially when
    they are internal or on a non-interface surface and not distort/disrupt the entire structure too much.
