•Magnetic "metasheet" material moves objects like a conveyor belt
78% Informative
Scientists at North Carolina State University have created a magnetic “metasheet” that can move objects and liquids around without needing robot arms or grippers.
The device is essentially a sheet made of elastic polymer with magnetic microparticles embedded in it.
A kirigami pattern of tessellating triangles is etched into it, which makes it more flexible to deform on demand.
Using this mechanism, the metasheet can be remotely controlled to push items around.
