MIT has devised a way of creating complex, self-assembling 3D nanostructures of wires and junctions. While self-assembling structures have been made from polymers before, this is the first time that ...

Harvard and MIT engineers, showing a reckless disregard for the robocalypse, have created origami robots that can self-assemble themselves -- from a flat piece of paper and polystyrene -- and walk ...

Researchers at MIT have developed injectable tissue grafts, dubbed “satellite livers,” that self-assemble inside the body after being delivered through a standard syringe. In work described by MIT on ...

Using M-blocks, MIT researchers have created a robotic technology that features cubes with no external moving parts, yet are fully capable of propelling themselves forward, jumping atop one another, ...
