MIT researchers found a way to move heavy objects like white sharks with their bare hands

Researchers at the Matter Design design lab, many of whom come from the US MIT, have discovered a way to move heavy objects across large white sharks without any tool.

The megalithic structures in Stonehenge have made visitors admire for decades, but scholars are still exploring how they are there.

Saying that humans have brought stones themselves to where they are now is almost unthinkable, because each such block has an average mass of up to 25 tons. But a group of researchers recently said that when they learn about a secret construction method, they realize that everything is possible.

Using blocks with appropriate density and focus, people can build whatever they want.

In 2014, researchers at the Matter Design design lab, many of whom came from MIT, began to study how to build giant structures like Easter Island statues, or Egyptian pyramids . of ancient civilizations. Using stone blocks with proper density and focus, they discovered that humans could indeed move objects as heavy as a large white shark that only needed bare hands.

With help from construction research company Cemex Global R&D, researchers have done many tasks that we dreamed of but we did not think of: they turned huge blocks of stone but looked as light as pink , or assemble objects into a ladder shape without the need for a truck or crane.

To determine which construction materials to use and where to put their focus, Matter Design relies on a computer algorithm. When algorithms find formulas but are not feasible in the real world, researchers can make tweaks to ensure objects can easily be moved by humans.

" Of course, there are many difficulties. But since we are designers, we can always ensure their focus is pulled in the direction it needs to be - " Brandon Clifford, an MIT associate and a in the lab's partners, said.

Clifford recently announced the lab's discovery at the TED conference 2019 - a conference focused on ideas beyond life. He said his project could change the future of construction by allowing companies to build without cranes, something that is expensive or difficult to deploy.

In addition, the construction process can also avoid the destruction of buildings. Although the current commercial buildings are designed to last for decades, the Matter Design architectures can survive . eternally - Clifford said. They can also be separated to create new forms of structure if desired.

" We are trying not only to think about the end product, like structures that you can deploy around the world. This project is not limited in scale, " Clifford said.
