Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for self-assembling electronic devices. The proof-of-concept work was used to create diodes and transistors, and paves the way for self-assembling more ...

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 ...

Picture this: self-assembling blocks that, when given a task, have the ability to reorganize themselves into new geometries. Till now, robots have depended on arms or attachments to move themselves.
