Microrobots That Morph into Shapes Before Hardening Like Bone
During birth, humans have gaps in the skulls that are enclosed by pieces of soft connective tissue known as fontanelles. Because of the fontanelles, the human skull is able to deform at the time of birth and pass successfully via the birth canal. Following the birth, the fontanelle tissue slowly turns to hard bone.
