smart sand mitResearchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will soon present a paper describing algorithms that could eventually enable “smart sand”; self-sculpting sand that can take on any shape. Their research involves cubes measuring approximately 10 millimeters (0.4 inch) with simple microprocessors embedded within, and magnets affixed to four of its sides....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/mits-self-assembling-smart-sand-could-take-on-any-shape/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
