DECISION-MAKING MATTER. "One project, called Logic Matter, encodes simple decision-making in a material, using only that substance's properties, shape, and geometry." https://lnkd.in/e74uquz View in LinkedIn

SMART BRICKS. "Bricks could be programmed to analyze their own loading conditions or orientation and might contain blueprints to build a wall or guide someone in the construction process." https://lnkd.in/e74uquz View in LinkedIn

DATA AND COMMUNICATION. "A decade after Wi-Fi put all our computers on a wireless network—and half a decade after the smartphone revolution put a series of pocket-size devices on that network—we are seeing the dawn of an era when the most mundane items in our lives can talk wirelessly among themselves, performing tasks on command, giving us data we’ve never had before." (IoT). https://lnkd.in/eUGiTeE View in LinkedIn

REPROGRAMMING BIOLOGY. "At the intersection of the biosciences and engineering, researchers are designing and building living systems that may not exist in nature." http://www.iftf.org/our-work/people-technology/technology-horizons/when-everything-is-programmable/when-everything-is-programmable-forecast-and-technology-cards/ View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT IN NATURE this weekend focuses on the human sensation of taste. Taste is central to the fundamental and universal human experience of food. And it has trumped nutrition in recent years. Surprisingly, the experts have changed their minds in this subject in recent time, and we have learned that it is multi-factorial and more complex than we thought for centuries. View in LinkedIn

FIVE HUMAN SENSES. "Aristotle was the first to assign humans with five traditional senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. However, if he was categorizing animals, his list of senses might have been longer. Several animals possess additional perceptive abilities that allow them to experience the world in ways we can barely imagine." https://lnkd.in/efeHCSP View in LinkedIn
