Capsule pups transformed into 7 dragon balls will come true

Nano-structure researchers at Harvard University have successfully developed a new material capable of zooming, zooming and customizing the hardness at the push of a button.

To demonstrate the variability of this new material, the team applied it to fabricating a square block of about one centimeter wide from 64 square cubicles rather than a snap structure.

Square snapping blocks will enlarge or flatten after only one button.

" This new type of folding material can be applied in a wide range , " says Johannes Overvelde. " You can use it to make baby things just a few nanometers to objects. It's bigger than a human being, like a kind of rescue tent, which, when minimized, can also be carried on a person . "

In addition, when talking about micromotor devices attached to the sample material, Overvelde continues to explain: " These material structures can be fitted with pneumatic actuators, and then volume, shape and hardness can all be designed for control . "

Actually, when pressed, the shape of the box has changed dramatically. Press a button, the box swells up, press another button, the block is flat to flat .

Capsule transformed into the Dragon Pearls soon became a reality.

And finally, when it comes to its applicability to life, Overvelde suggests, " You can integrate the control system directly into the device and once connected to the pneumatic actuator. You will have new design options . " And according to the scientific journal "Nature Communications", in addition to the ability to be activated by power as in the experiment, water and temperature may play a role in alternative and so once again limited to reinvent opened extra width.

And maybe, in the future, the devices that are supposed to be fictitious like the " hi-tech capsule " in the " Seven Dragon Pearls " can be realized under the ingenious design of engineers. .
