A class of biomimetic, helically folded pore-forming polymeric foldamers can serve as long-sought-after highly selective ultrafast water-conducting channels exceeding those of aquaporins with high water-over-monovalent-ion transport selectivity conferred by the modularly tunable hydrophobicity of the interior pore surface.
