greetings citizens to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the universe I'm Ashley sceva and Chuck kanata is at home after an eye doctor appointment in which his pupils were dilated which I'm assuming all just means he's playing uncharted for both that being said let's talk about the headlines MIT is at it again after unveiling a platform that shape shifts as you touch it the name of the platform is material and it can mimic a variety of real-world materials like sand rubber water clay and more a grid of 3d printed blocks act as individual sorts of pixels that can react to physical touch and computer software tells the blocks how to respond with chosen physics you can see here how it reacts with ripples and other visuals as it's being used mit offers some interesting real-world use cases in the video including geo scientific models education medical exploration and even material interaction honestly though I just want to throw bouncy balls against it like that one guy the video because it looked really really fun alright guys so now we've all seen Captain America Civil War I think we can as a collective get excited about this supercool electromagnetic cap shield YouTube channel the hack Smith decided they didn't just want a prop replica Captain America shield so they did what any team capping fan would do they added a pair of commercially available electromagnets to a gauntlet which then allowed the hack Smith to attach and throw a Captain America shield from his forearm just like Steve Rogers the electromagnets have the power to lift over 3000 pounds but since their power decreases exponentially with distance we won't exactly be seeing the shield fly from across the room to reattach itself to the hack Smith's arm but we can't appreciate the work that went into the project so high fives the hack Smith if you guys want to talk about either subject I'm gonna let you pick for this Thursday's deep dive show use the hashtag hey TD on Twitter and whichever one gets the most comments and questions out of these two stories we will discuss on Thursdays long show will also be welcoming the creator of honest trailers some of our favorite videos on the intern we'll be welcoming the creator of honest trailers to the show on Thursday so send in your questions as well oh that being said let's look at our phone time of the day our phone talker for the day today is Nicola who sent in this photo that he took with a moto G second Jen and Nicola writes hello the photo windpower shows a sunset over a field of rapeseed in the German state of North rhine-westphalia taken with my moto G 2nd gen you have my permission to use the photo in the show love the show by the way how is Cale doing at Yahoo thank you and I hope you show my picnic Allah from Stara Zagora bulgaria kale is doing great i love this picture it fits right in with our theme of spring for the month of May be sure to send in your photos I will tell you how in just a second kale is doing great at Yahoo he also just launched a show with Michelle Mauro that he's co-hosting called end game on comic-con HQ which if you recall our former guests Riley a Vanderbilt will also be doing a show on comic-con HQ they just launched their beta so you should definitely check out endgame and say hi to Cale while you're at it we're very proud of him if you guys want to send in your phone tog Rafi you can email us tomorrow it's cnet.com make sure you send in what device you took it with give us permission to use the photo tell us a little story about it and of course tell us how to pronounce your name if it is a difficult name to pronounce because we can barely read here that is it for the show today you can find us on social media tomorrow daily you can share the show with a friend by sending them to tomorrow daily.com and we will be back tomorrow a lot I will have Jeff here hopefully if he can tear himself away from Uncharted or if his eyes are done dilating I don't know I don't think that's real but he should be here tomorrow and until then be good humans we'll see you guys next time fine
