1 – Color Changing 3D Prints
Researchers at MIT have created special dyes which change color when exposed to UV lights. When 3D printed, these parts can then have this light projected on them and change color, and can be changed back after. This has major implications for future clothes – if you are bored of your purple dress, just shine a light on it till it turns blue!
