Programmable matter etc. Intel had something to do with it as well.
The design of this is terribly exciting. It reminds me… oh, I remember of what, it reminds me of the olden metal diamond shapes that used to be fiddled with on a round magnet disk. Do you recall those? I think they were even called fiddles? Got it! Fiddle with a CRDL!

The hours I spent with this!
I accidentally bought about a 100 tiny neo magnets recently. They’re really cool – amazingly strong. You can do things like make 3mm wide, 30cm high towers – kindof gravity defying things.
