BrainBank: Papercraft, or Witchcraft? Edition

To the left you see the world's first self-folding origami, which I discovered at about 10:30 tonight. No, this is not as redundant as a self-solving Rubik's Cube. It is, however, twice as awesome.

Basically, this is paper lined with "programmable actuators" which allow it to fold itself. Theorized uses are along the lines of cups that conform to the amount of liquid within them, but I think that shows a lack of imagination.

All I can say is: self-folding clothing, which will invariably lead to the world domination of sentient pants.
