Video: “Smart Sheets” Can Self-Assemble Into Airplanes, Boats Scientists at MIT and Harvard have invented self-folding smart fiberglass sheets that can crease themselves into origami airplanes and boats. It’s a far cry from previous programmable matter research we’ve seen, which works at the nanoscale to create scaffolds and gears. The fiberglass sheets are about a half-millimeter thick and made o
