• Resumen

  • The article discusses how novel materials and three-dimensional (3-D) printers could lead to the creation of objects that can self-assemble or change shape or function on command. Topics include advances in computer-aided design (CAD) and materials science that are making things such as flexible sewer pipes feasible, the vulnerability of programmable matter to hacking and sabotage, examples of the authors' 4-D printing projects, and pixels in 3-D spaces called voxels.
