This stuff sounds incredible and reminds me of the “morphing” or “memory Metal” found in Roswell not long after the UFO Crash.

Program manager Dr. Mitchell R. Zakin give the example of a soldier needing a tool. He commands a bucket of programmable matter to form a wrench, and it does. Then he needs a hammer, and the wrench dissolves and reforms into a hammer.
“That is the essence of programmable matter,” Zakin tells SIGNAL.
Did someone say Transformers ??
Here is some info i could find about the Metal found in Roswell:
The Roswell material was a material that was found in the Roswell crash site.
It could not be burned, tore, or destroyed in any shape or form. The material would always bend back to its original position if crumpled up.
Newly discovered documents reveal that in the months immediately following the purported 1947 UFO crash at Roswell, secret government studies began on a material that was previously unknown to science. The “memory metal” that was studied precisely matches some of the debris material reported by several witnesses to the crash
The documents suggest that after the crash, the US government attempted to develop a unique material that is today referred to as memory metal. This shape-recovery alloy was reported by several witnesses to the Roswell crash in the summer of 1947. The lightweight “morphing” material was able to be crumpled or deformed and then return itself instantly and seamlessly to its original state. The metallurgical discoveries that resulted from these studies were then “seeded” for further technology development to other government agencies (including NASA) and through a series of military contracts to universities and industry.
Could this be a case of reverse engineering alien technology??
