Kurzweil : "Organic metamaterial flows like a liquid, remembers its shape | Ce monde à inventer ! | Scoop.it
A new material created by Cornell researchers is so soft that it can flow like a liquid and then, strangely, return to its original shape. Rather than liquid metal, it is a hydrogel, a mesh of organic molecules with many small empty spaces that can absorb water like a sponge.
