The intelligent fluid is ready, it changes its properties on command - Physics and Mathematics. For robots, smart shock absorbers and color-changing inks (ANSA) The first'metafluid' of its kind, that is, a fluid which, like solid metamaterials, has properties determined not by what it it is made but by its structure.
This thanks to its tiny elastic spheres that can deform under pressure, radically changing the characteristics of the material. This was developed by researchers from the John Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard.
