We've all heard of 3D printing - the future of printing many things ranging from equipment to even food!
4D printing is basically 3D printing but with the added dimension of time. This may sound strange but the objects are configured to change shape over time. In some materials this is configured by a simple change in temperature. Some materials could even change shape simply by being poked or prodded.
Although this is a very new field, surely objects that can change at your command sounds exciting?
