Once a model is deployed, its internal structure is effectively frozen. Any real learning happens elsewhere: through retraining cycles, fine-tuning jobs or external memory systems layered on top. The ...
Mechanical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a proof-of-concept method for programming mechanical properties into solid Lego-like building blocks. By controlling the solidity of hundreds ...
Electrically heated elements turn from solids to liquids to provide flexibility to robotic building blocks.
