  Colloidal liquid robotics with embodied intelligence solutions mimicking
biologic systems, in response to the future increasingly distributed sensing
and the resulting data to be managed, has been proposed as the next cybernetic
paradigm. Solutions for data storage and readout in liquido require a physical
structure able to change configuration under electrical stimuli. We propose
tectomers as a candidate for such an adaptive structure. A tectomer is a
oligomer made of few oligoglycine units with a common centre. Tectomers undergo
pH dependent assembly in a single layer supramers. Tectomers represent a stable
paradigm, in their amorphous or crystalline forms, reversibly influenced by
solution pH, whose electronic properties are studied herein.
