  • A new 3D printed material is making a move. Scientists have embedded tiny particles of magnetic iron into a silicon rubber to create a substance that can be 'programmed' by a magnetic field. By 3D printing this into any shape, the researchers can use a computer model to generate a wide range of fast movements. With potential uses in soft robotics, engineering and medicine, this is an exciting new addition to the field of transformable materials.

    1:35, there are no magnetic charges. Magnetic fields are Dipole only, and only come from electric current

      Thank you for spotting that lethiac. That should indeed be ‘field’ rather than ‘charge’.

      @Reth_Hard 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's funny, today I watched a video saying that according to quantum physics, monopole magnets could be made. (In theory... Just like electric charges can be isolated.)
      But I don't think it has been created yet, due to some "technical challenges".

      It is not simple, it needs an out side magnetic field controller that probably bigger and more complex.

    @Arelias95 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I don't like how only material was shown, what about the whole controller, that makes the material move the way it does? Is it not shown because this isn't real, or is it not shown because that's the drawback of technology? Even if material itself can move, etc. to control it properly, you need precise field creation, also what about the inverse square law? What is the range on this material per Tesla of magnetic flux?

    • @luke53285

      that would depend on the flux sensitivity of the material as well as how powerful a battery. MRI/FMRI would be early ideal

    • @CosmiaNebula
      @CosmiaNebula 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Any nonreversible motion costs energy, and it has to come from somewhere, be it an external magnetic field, or electric current, or heat gradient, or light or something.
      Batteries inside would be too cumbersome for certain applications, and an external source would be useful.

      @Arelias95 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Material can be probably made as a custom order from any manufacturer, since it's just silicon and ferrous material. If this article is real, then 3D printer works with custom made software for controlling the polarisation of deposited material, unless they make software available / someone copies it, I don't think this will be for home use.

    make a tiny origami person that can walk and has hands, have ai from Boston robots navigate it, use MRI to generate a image/ path so the robots can just walk through your body and repair it like ship building. Hell have the person controlled via AR/VR and now a doctor is walking around your body. Another idea, have a tiny camera and light on it that's powered by the magnetic field for sight.

    That's the problem with PopSci, they half ass their research. The article itself doesn't mention who either, just that it's happening.

      The linked paper includes information about all the contributing authors - you can either hover over or click on each name and it will tell you the institution they are from or where the work was done, or you can click on the 'author information' section on the right hand side of the page and it also tells you all the affiliations.
      Soft Active Materials Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
      Yoonho Kim, Hyunwoo Yuk, Ruike Zhao & Xuanhe Zhao
      Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
      Yoonho Kim
      Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, USA
      Shawn A. Chester
      Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
      Xuanhe Zhao
      So this work was done at MIT in the states.
      You can also check the 'acknowledgements' tab which might include any other institutions that took part in the paper. In this case:
      This work is supported by the National Science Foundation (CMMI-1661627) and the Office of Naval Research (N00014-17-1-2920) and the MIT Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies. Y.K. acknowledges financial support from Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. H.Y. acknowledges financial support from a Samsung Scholarship.
      So maybe some of the work came from the Naval Research base.
      You can also contact the authors using the links in the paper if you want to find out more.

  • @fenvesik
    @fenvesik ปีที่แล้ว

    Listing drawbacks of other materials and then only succeeding in eliminating one of them is a weird way of advertising. Yes, it's fast. But it still has limited range of motion and it needs to be connected to a huge electromagnetic field generator.
    Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing technology. But don't do the tv commercial thing with grey filter and lower res videos talking trash about other products. Be forthright and show us where you started, where you are now and what challenges you are still facing! Science is about constant development, you don't have to hide that! Wear it proudly!
    I know this is just a random youtube channel showcasing a video but maybe someone from the company will read this and wake the boomers up...
