Intel has unveiled a video demonstrating the company's "programmable matter" concept – an intelligent amorphous blob formed of microscopic glass spheres with processing power and photovoltaic for generating electricity. In this system, the particles, which move relative to one another via electrostatic, make up a material that can be “programmed” to take any shape. Intel says that such shape-shifting matter, which the company believes would turn into a technology in the next four decades, will enable users to "design objects of any imaginable shape and simply 'hit the print command' and the matter would take that shape."

Sounds interesting. But not one shot of the real thing. Just excellent
CG mock-ups. It would have been nice if they had explained that
haven't acutally done anything but that they hoped it would look like
this etc

It's annoying that this video is being treated as "news" or taken as
anything other than science fiction.

Hey, I read this book where spaceships can travel across the galaxy
using wormholes. Why doesn't CNN do a story about this?
