Cornell University researchers this week unveiled tiny "metasheet" robots capable of transforming into pre-determined shapes and crawling around when electricity is applied. Along with biological organisms, the robots were inspired by kirigami, a variation of origami wherein objects are cut in addition to folded.

The "metasheet" bit of the name, meanwhile, is based on the word "metamaterial," referring to the little robots' diverse makeup. They're constructed from 100 10-nanometer silicon dioxide panels, held together by hinges. The electricity creates an electrochemical reaction that lets the robots expand or contract up to 40% of their size.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

UFO Hunting, With Harvard Data: Astrophysicist Advocates For Scientific Investigation

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
