Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are now allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will continue to be removed and our normal comment rules still apply to other comments.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

From my understanding they don’t display complex behavior. Experiments ran with nano bots show that colony organisms that display “complex behavior” when moving is just a side effect of random motion. When you have a lot of things all performing random motion, they tend to organize because thermodynamics favors that they all move a certain way.

So we don't have to go 900 year into the future using a stolen Klingon time crystal to get programmable matter?
