Apply HN:Programmable matter
Goal: creation of programmable matter, consisting of many microscopic particles (c-atoms). Which can be manipulated to create a user programmed 3d form.
Achievements. Verified experimentally:
- ways to connect c-atoms with each other;
- the movement of c-atom relative to other c-atoms.
The experiments were conducted with models of c-atoms in the macro scale. The size of c-atoms models was 3 * 4 cm.
Tasks:
- development of software capable of managing an array of c-atoms;
- repeating experiments in micro-scale with size of c-atoms - less than one millimeter.

- YuriyZ 11y ago- Programmable matter will replace 3d prototyping, which is now carried out by 3d printers. - Will be used in telecommunications. The effect of presence - Pario. - The technology will be used in medicine. The surgeon will be able to operate on the patient by manipulating programmable matter, which will be an enlarged, precise, copy of the operated area. - Toys (gadgets) transformers. The company will make money by selling and renting devices from the programmable matter.
