Programmable Materials Make Their Way Into Future Applications
When we take a look at any physical and tangible product, we think of the materials used to make that product. In our minds, the material is a raw product that has been shaped and treated to meet the specific need of the product. All that will change in the future as MIT introduces programmable […]
