MIT’s Shape-Shifting Blocks Keep Circuits Alive Without Wires

MIT’s Shape-Shifting Blocks Keep Circuits Alive Without Wires

What if a piece of furniture could become something else entirely—not through motors or embedded chips, but simply by rearranging its own physical structure? Researchers at MIT have moved a step closer to that vision with “bifur-circuits,” 3D-printed modular blocks with integrated electronics that can twist, stretch, rotate, and compress without losing their electrical connections. … Read more
