We have all seen this movie and i'm sure most of us liked it. I liked it because the movie revolves around a bond of friendship between a human and a few highly advanced beings whose technological advancements are light years ahead of us and how they stick with each other through ups and downs. Even the transformers have hearts inside their chests and they feel like we do. It's just extraordinary. This particular scene shows, how incredibly advanced they are. But this science fiction concept will soon become our reality. How about that.
Thanks to Prof Seth Goldstein, Carnegie Mellon University who is trying to revolutionize our future with programmable matter and yes it works exactly as the way it sounds, you can program matter to take various dynamic 3-D shapes. But of course the matter is entirely different.
Prof Goldstein is trying to combine systems nanotechnology, modular robotics and computer science to create the dynamic and 3 dimensional display of electronic information known as claytronics. It sounds like science fiction but, its not. The basic building blocks of claytronics is called catoms or claytronic atoms. These catoms are nano scale computers which can communicate with each other to form dynamic, 3-D shapes.
