MIT team develops shape-shifting noodles
MIT researchers have engineered "edible origami" noodles made of gelatin and starch that, when submerged in water, sprout into 3D structures. The two-layer gelatin film consists of two different densities. The top layer is denser, and thus absorbs more water curling over the bottom layer. "With this tool, we want to democratise the design of noodles," researchers said.
