内容简介
材料只能作为被动的构件而为人摆布吗？它会不会变成“活的”，可以感知环境、适应环境，并自我组装到一起？如果你对这些问题感兴趣，想预知材料领域的下一场重大变革，《新材料革命》是一本必读书。
麻省理工学院自组装实验室的创始人斯凯拉·蒂比茨，在本书中展示了材料领域新颖的设计和制造方法，表明了材料令人惊讶但仍未被开发的能力；利用看似使熵逆转的方法创造简单的材料“机器人”，通过编程使日常物体或环境“活”起来；挑战传统事物会随着时间流逝而分解的观念，认为物体可以随着时间变得更好；在不远的将来，我们将可以对材料进行编程，使其变得更活跃、更具适应性，并自我进化。

Content introduction
Can materials only be manipulated as passive components? Will it become "living," able to sense its environment, adapt to it, and assemble itself together? If you're interested in these questions and want to anticipate the next big change in materials, The New Materials Revolution is a must-read.
Skylar Tibbits, founder of MIT's Self-Assembly Laboratory, presents novel design and manufacturing methods in the field of materials, demonstrating the surprising but still untapped capabilities of materials; Using a seemingly entropy-reversing approach to create simple material "robots" that can be programmed to "come alive" everyday objects or environments; Challenging the traditional notion that things break down over time and that objects can get better over time; In the near future, we will be able to program materials to become more active, more adaptable, and to evolve on their own.
