As regular readers know, I see foldamer engineering as a key to next-generation atomically precise nanosystems. Valuable in themselves, foldamers can also serve as components of composite systems that exploit diverse materials and nanotechnologies of qualitatively different kinds.
“Foldamers: Accomplishments and Goals”, by Samuel Gellman, heads a collection of 59 abstracts from a recent international conference on foldamers held in Bordeaux-Pessac, France. (Note that Gellman also authored the classic 1998 paper, “Foldamers: A Manifesto”.)
This set of abstracts offers a good window into the state of a broad, dynamic, and important field.
