The team demonstrated the shape-morphing flexibility of the material with models of a butterfly and flower made from the smart textile, performing complex motions in the lab. Team leader Thanh Nho Do has bigger plans and believes that his team will eventually develop a human smart suit similar to the Iron Man and Spider-Man suits from the Marvel Universe.
