Self-Assembly
MIT researcher Skylar Tibbits works on self-assembly – the idea that instead of building something (a chair, a skyscraper), we can create materials that build themselves, much the way a strand of DNA zips itself together. Tibbits shows us three in-the-lab projects that hint at what a self-assembling future might look like.
