3D printing a fast-morphing smart material

But is this strong..?!!

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

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?

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

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

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

awesome

Its creepy

A really small step for nanorobots?

Synthetic muscle enough said lol

ohhhh , i see. science is so amazing

WTF!!!

Prosthetic limbs could be revolutionary

SILICONE not SILICON !!

Bruh that snowflake is grooving

The future is now, old man!

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

So and where to buy?

I wonder if these could replases injured muscle?

So this material has a negative poisson ratio?

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

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

Лайк однозначно!

Engage Rule 34

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

better bring magnet every day in case of an invasion

everybody gangsta til the plastic starts wiggling

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

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?

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

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

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.

time to print myself my own pulsating fleshlight

condoms?

Flexible synthetic muscle strands for bipedal robots!

Where can I buy the 3D printer and material

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

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

I want a cute mini thing that can swim

Its alive

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?

It looks like the fortune telling fish's cousin XD

I can't swallow tablets!

Ok, just swallow this rolled up newspaper then!

thats cool af

That's cool.

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

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