Scientists at MIT have created a self-assembling cell phone. The prototype, developed by MIT's Self-Assembly Lab (http://www.selfassemblylab.net/index.php), is able to piece itself together in less than a minute.*

The concept behind the project, first reported (http://www.fastcodesign.com/3062765/from-mit-a-cell-phone-that-builds-itself) by Fast Company, is surprisingly straightforward. Each phone is made of three pieces. Six of these are placed in a tumbler which shakes the pieces fast e**ugh to get the pieces to snap together (via magnets) but **t fast e**ugh to break or damage them
You can see how the process works in the video below. The total assembly time can range from a couple minutes to less than one minute, according to the report. Read more...
