Istraživač Instituta za tehnologiju Masačusets, Skajlar Tibits, radi na samokonstrukciji -- ideji da, umesto da stvorimo nešto (stolicu, neboder), možemo stvoriti materijale koji sami sebe konstruišu, nalik na lance DNK koji se sami kombinuju. Reč je o velikom konceptu koji je još uvek u ranoj fazi; Tibits nam pokazuje tri laboratorijska projekta koja daju uvid u to kako bi samokonstruktivna budućnost mogla da izgleda.

Skajlar Tibits: Možemo li da stvorimo predmete koji će sami stvarati?

Natural systems like proteins and DNA assemble themselves with stunning speed, efficiency, and complexity, far surpassing current human manufacturing. By translating these principles into architecture and technology, materials could one day self-assemble, replicate, and repair, changing the way buildings and machines come together. Laboratory experiments already demonstrate programmable chains and structures that fold into shape using only local instructions, hinting at a future where construction is embedded in the material itself.
