Harvard reveals incredible shape changing building blocks

Researchers have developed a simple way to make intricate shape-shifting building blocks. The team used a computer to model nearly a million designs to find the perfect blueprint that could make structures on a large scale. They say the'toolkit' could let engineers, architects and others create radical shape changing structures far more easily. Researchers have unveiled a toolkit for designing intricate shape-shifting blocks on a larger scale. Harvard researchers developed a framework for designing reconfigurable metamaterials.
