MIT Designs Furniture And Clothing That Can Self-Assemble
A team of researchers working at Massachusetts Institute of Technology is working on “programmable materials” that transforms its shape with change in effect of temperature or water. With simple technical processes, wood, carbon or textiles could be converted into objects that can self-assemble. Furniture that comes as a self-assembling kit, clothes that adapt according to changing weather conditions…

A Giant Step For Artificial Organs: Blood Vessels Synthesized By 3D Printing
Since its invention, 3D printing continues to push the boundaries of technology. Moreover, researchers have managed the feat of creating fully functional synthetic blood vessels. We explain to you this significant scientific achievement. Until now, the major problem encountered during 3D printing of human organs was the creation of functional vessels and ventricles. So if it was…
