Scientists Just Created Shape-Shifting Robots That Flow Like Liquid and Harden Like Steel

Researchers have designed a robotic material that transforms like a living organism. Inspired by embryos, these disk-shaped robots use magnets, motors, and light to shift between rigid and fluid states. The result? A self-healing, shape-shifting system that could change how we build and interact with materials. Robots That Behave Like Materials “We’ve figured out a [...]
