4 months agoWe've figured out the basics of a shape-shifting, T-1000-style material
Researchers developed cell-like robots that can shapeshift and interact in complex ways, inspired by biological systems.
Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that the innovative "fungi tiles" made from mycelium are significantly more effective at heat regulation than traditional building materials.
Jansen's process of improving the Strandbeest resembles biological evolution, where changes are retained or discarded based on their adaptations to sandy environments.
