3D printing a fast-morphing smart material

Omfg

I want one of the little snowflake ones to roll me tiny stuff adorably

I don't understand the red light thing at all. Maybe it is to hide the strings :-)

That's cool.

thats cool af

I can't swallow tablets!

Ok, just swallow this rolled up newspaper then!

It looks like the fortune telling fish's cousin XD

Were all of these movements done purely by turning on and off a magnetic field, or multiple? Could these ever be more precisely controlled with irregular currents?

Its alive

I want a cute mini thing that can swim

Thanks. I'll add magnets and silicone to my list of deepest fears and doomsday prep now 😂

This is pretty creepy for me but would like to see it!

Where can I buy the 3D printer and material

Flexible synthetic muscle strands for bipedal robots!

condoms?

time to print myself my own pulsating fleshlight

make a tiny origami person that can walk and has hands, have ai from Boston robots navigate it, use MRI to generate a image/ path so the robots can just walk through your body and repair it like ship building. Hell have the person controlled via AR/VR and now a doctor is walking around your body. Another idea, have a tiny camera and light on it that's powered by the magnetic field for sight.

а чому не закладати дріт між простірами, як робили з рідкими магнітами, прі подачи струму возніка магнітна індукція, яка заставляж рухати? таким чином вам треба подати імпульс, як мишцах людини

Imagine making a house out of this material (or something similar), so you can see the house kind of building it self.

I don't like how only material was shown, what about the whole controller, that makes the material move the way it does? Is it not shown because this isn't real, or is it not shown because that's the drawback of technology? Even if material itself can move, etc. to control it properly, you need precise field creation, also what about the inverse square law? What is the range on this material per Tesla of magnetic flux?

i would not call it smart material, it's a plastic/silicate material with magnetized infill which gives it movable properties when introduced to an electrical current or other material with magnetic properties. it's really old science

everybody gangsta til the plastic starts wiggling

better bring magnet every day in case of an invasion

Hmm I think if these are made in a nano scale, it could lift heavy stuff. It's like an electronic muscle

Engage Rule 34

Лайк однозначно!

This is so futuristic but the video kinda seems like it was made in the late 90s, something I might’ve watched at school. Incredibly cool none the less

This is freaking me out a lot more than I anticipated.

So this material has a negative poisson ratio?

I wonder if these could replases injured muscle?

So and where to buy?

OK but what are they calling it? They must have a name four this new innovative feature.

The future is now, old man!

Bruh that snowflake is grooving

SILICONE not SILICON !!

Prosthetic limbs could be revolutionary

WTF!!!

ohhhh , i see. science is so amazing

Synthetic muscle enough said lol

A really small step for nanorobots?

Its creepy

awesome

Go fold abnormal protein In ALS if you can get the medication to the proteins cells

Ok nice. Where can I buy it since it already exists for 3d printers?

Imagine what this technology could do for the sex toy industry. That's how you pay your R&D

Science is beautiful beyond description.
Time and evolution gave us a brain capable of creating materials with properties that can’t be made or found in nature.
Isn’t that sensational?

Are you trying to recreate your creator/creators? Complex 🫡🤔

But is this strong..?!!
