you take the three-dimensional structure
you take the three-dimensional structure

of a protein and this case it's the
of a protein and this case it's the
cranon<00:03:09.080> protein<00:03:10.000> you<00:03:10.159> take<00:03:10.319> the<00:03:10.519> backbone<00:03:10.959> so
cranon protein you take the backbone so
cranon protein you take the backbone so
no<00:03:11.400> cross<00:03:11.720> linking<00:03:12.159> no<00:03:12.360> environmental
no cross linking no environmental
no cross linking no environmental
interactions<00:03:13.840> and<00:03:13.959> you<00:03:14.080> break<00:03:14.400> that<00:03:14.599> down
interactions and you break that down
interactions and you break that down
into<00:03:15.040> a<00:03:15.200> series<00:03:15.480> of
into a series of
into a series of
components<00:03:17.200> and<00:03:17.319> then<00:03:17.480> we<00:03:17.680> embed<00:03:18.080> elastic<00:03:18.879> and
components and then we embed elastic and

on<00:03:56.400> their<00:03:56.560> own<00:03:57.480> and<00:03:57.599> we<00:03:57.720> built<00:03:58.120> 500<00:03:58.640> of<00:03:58.799> these
on their own and we built 500 of these
on their own and we built 500 of these
glass<00:03:59.280> beers<00:03:59.920> they<00:04:00.040> had<00:04:00.200> different<00:04:00.560> molecular

the<00:04:38.320> idea<00:04:38.600> was<00:04:38.800> could<00:04:38.960> we<00:04:39.080> self<00:04:39.400> assemble
the idea was could we self assemble
the idea was could we self assemble
Furniture<00:04:40.360> scale<00:04:40.960> objects<00:04:41.919> so<00:04:42.080> we<00:04:42.240> built<00:04:42.479> a
Furniture scale objects so we built a
Furniture scale objects so we built a
large<00:04:43.000> rotating<00:04:43.520> chamber<00:04:44.320> and<00:04:44.479> people<00:04:44.680> would
large rotating chamber and people would

come<00:04:45.039> up<00:04:45.160> and<00:04:45.280> spin<00:04:45.520> the<00:04:45.680> chamber<00:04:46.160> faster<00:04:46.479> or
come up and spin the chamber faster or
come up and spin the chamber faster or

how self assembly works and how could we
how self assembly works and how could we

remember I said four 4D so today for the
first<00:05:01.880> time<00:05:02.080> we're<00:05:02.240> unveiling<00:05:02.680> a<00:05:02.840> new<00:05:03.120> project
first time we're unveiling a new project
first time we're unveiling a new project
which<00:05:03.800> is<00:05:03.880> a<00:05:04.080> collaboration<00:05:04.600> with<00:05:04.759> stratesys
which is a collaboration with stratesys
which is a collaboration with stratesys
and<00:05:05.840> it's<00:05:06.000> called<00:05:06.240> 4D<00:05:06.919> printing<00:05:07.919> the<00:05:08.039> idea
and it's called 4D printing the idea
and it's called 4D printing the idea
behind<00:05:08.600> 4D<00:05:09.120> printing<00:05:09.800> is<00:05:09.919> that<00:05:10.080> you<00:05:10.280> take
behind 4D printing is that you take
behind 4D printing is that you take
multimaterial<00:05:11.240> 3D<00:05:12.000> printing<00:05:12.560> so<00:05:12.720> you<00:05:12.840> can
multimaterial 3D printing so you can
multimaterial 3D printing so you can
deposit<00:05:13.440> multiple<00:05:13.919> materials<00:05:14.880> and<00:05:15.000> you<00:05:15.120> add<00:05:15.280> a
deposit multiple materials and you add a
deposit multiple materials and you add a
new<00:05:15.800> capability<00:05:16.800> which<00:05:16.919> is<00:05:17.319> transformation
new capability which is transformation
new capability which is transformation
that<00:05:18.560> right<00:05:18.720> off<00:05:18.880> the<00:05:19.039> bed<00:05:19.680> the<00:05:19.840> parts<00:05:20.160> can
that right off the bed the parts can
that right off the bed the parts can
transform<00:05:20.840> from<00:05:21.039> one<00:05:21.280> shape<00:05:21.800> to<00:05:22.080> another

like<00:05:25.280> robotics<00:05:26.000> without<00:05:26.360> wires<00:05:26.680> or<00:05:26.880> Motors<00:05:27.360> so
like robotics without wires or Motors so
like robotics without wires or Motors so
you<00:05:27.680> completely<00:05:28.280> print<00:05:28.639> this<00:05:28.840> part<00:05:29.120> and<00:05:29.199> it
you completely print this part and it
you completely print this part and it
can<00:05:29.720> transform<00:05:30.319> into<00:05:30.600> something
can transform into something

built environment so I've started a lab
built environment so I've started a lab
at<00:06:38.120> MIT<00:06:39.039> and<00:06:39.120> it's<00:06:39.280> called<00:06:39.440> the<00:06:39.520> self<00:06:39.800> assembly
at MIT and it's called the self assembly
