It is a well-known fact that computers become more advanced each year. But could computers one day become advanced enough to rewire themselves? This is the hope of researchers at Northwestern University, who have recently created a material for use in electronics that can conceivably alter its function based on the operation that the electronic device is carrying out in a particular moment. This could lead to computers with the ability to morph into completely different devices.
