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 been reached and
- top down positional assembly became possible.
The robo approach in the incremental path basically entails
compared to diamoindoid low performance de-novo protein and other foldamer based productive nanosystems
at larger but not necessarily macro-scales.
Applications
Potential side applications at this potential early stage of tech development.
It seems not much comes up here.
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)
- maybe nanofluidics with chambers integrating enzymatic proteins or such?
- ...
