Få saker är så roande som att låta sig inspireras av kreativa och innovativa lösningar. Personligen så älskar jag att frossa bland unika prylar och koncept där skaparen uppenbarligen har tänkt till ett extra varv. Ibland rör det sig om sofistikerade lösningar, ibland om väldigt simpla.

Self-Assembling Sand Kicks 3-D Printing Back to the Future
3-D Printing Is So Last Year: MIT’s “Self-Assembling Sand” Builds Objects Instantly IT SOUNDS LIKE SCI-FI, AND IT COULD EVENTUALLY MAKE RAPID-PROTOTYPING SEEM QUAINT. If Terminator 2 taught us anything, it was that a properly timed thumbs-up can make us cry. Also, autonomous, self-shaping blobs are a must-have on our checklist for the future.
