Researchers at Cornell University created what's possibly the smallest self-folding origami bird in the world. According to these nanotech scientists, it's not a prank.
A team of North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers have created a reconfigurable liquid metal antenna controlled only by voltage. Liquid metal electronics have held the interest of the scientific community for years, but previous to this discovery these devices were not readily integrated into electronic systems because they required external pumps. This discovery advances the technology past this significant drawback.
