PARIO. "The featured application of claytronics is a new mode of communication. Claytronics will offer a more realistic sense to communication over long distance called pario. Similar to how audio and video provide aural and visual stimulation, pario provides an aural, visual and physical sensation. A user will be able to hear, see and touch the one communicating with them in a realistic manner." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn

ULTIMATE BIOMIMICRY. "Goldstein sees the basic ideas of programmable matter being applied to objects at all scales, from atoms to house bricks, or perhaps even larger. It’s almost a philosophy: a determination among today’s researchers to make their creations more intelligent, more obedient, and more sensitive, imbuing them with qualities that will eventually make them act almost like living things—like matter with a mind of its own." https://lnkd.in/dzmMmjE View in LinkedIn

NANOFABRICATION OF PROGRAMMABLE MATERIALS. "Tuning the optical, electromagnetic, and mechanical properties of a material requires simultaneous control over its composition and shape." https://lnkd.in/ex2QSyM View in LinkedIn

"UNPRECEDENTED REVOLUTION" IN MATERIAL SCIENCES. "The revolution is the ability to create physical and biological materials which can change their shape and properties, and have the means to figure out the correct mathematical dimensions for self-assembly." (i.e., Water pipes that adjust shape according to volume flowing within them)." https://lnkd.in/eUji5-3 View in LinkedIn

4D PRINTING shape-changing structures. "Empowering objects made with special materials using 3D printing techniques and a fourth dimension of time, shows 4D printed materials will be able to adopt other shapes after being printed. Micro and nanoscale technology inside the material will be able to redesign itself – by itself – when needed." https://lnkd.in/eUji5-3 View in LinkedIn

VERY EXPENSIVE BUT ON THE HORIZON. And in terms of when we can expect utility fogs to make their appearance ... it should come about in the neighborhood of around 2030 — but no later than 2040. Any later than that ... and I would be profoundly disappointed." https://lnkd.in/eik9_rZ View in LinkedIn

UPLOAD YOUR MIND INTO THE FOG. "But utility fogs may have an even more radical application than that — there's also the potential for people to upload their minds directly into this nano-infused cloud. You could very realistically imagine uploading into it ... and then you'd be this sort of formless data amoeba controlling this formless physical amoeba and take any size or form you wanted." https://lnkd.in/eik9_rZ View in LinkedIn

HOLODECK. "But that's not where Hall sees its greatest potential. "You could actually push this technology to the point of creating a virtual world around you ... You'd essentially get Star Trek's holodeck — one that could actually cut you and make you bleed." https://lnkd.in/eik9_rZ View in LinkedIn

WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE. "With proper programming the Fog would almost be able to read your mind. This combination of extreme reactivity to control and virtually limitless creative and operational ability suggest a comparison with the Krell machine in "Forbidden Planet"." https://lnkd.in/eik9_rZ View in LinkedIn
