‘Morphed’ Pasta!
What if your pasta could lie flat and occupy less shape when packaged, and morph into its desired shape when cooking? Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and Zhejiang University City College are trying to figure out how to make pasta more ‘efficient’.
Working on principles that are quite similar to those found in soft robotics and origami, these new pasta shapes start out as flat sheets of dried dough that warp into their signature design when you boil them in water.
