Animate & Smart Materials showcase & discussion thread

I think this is going to become a huge industry in the not to distant future.......

Before creating this thread I checked out a lot of keywords / phrases and nearly all where taken in .com - they are available in .org .net country extensions etc etc but I was only interested in .com for this niche

A very good in depth report on Animate Materials below:

There will be a live stream event on YouTube on Wednesday 10 March at 6pm GMT

If you have domains or news for this niche please feel free to share!!

 

Never heard of this before but does seem a very interesting and promising niche for the future.

Animate Materials (.com) is already owned by a R&D company which is good because they have an added interest to work in this field so they obviously believe in the keyword.

I don't ever go outside of .com but I took the risk you mentioned above.

Decided to do:

Animate Materials (.org)

Animate Material (.com)

 

nice ones - looked at both of them and was 50/50 on the .com

I made a little list over the last couple of days and after doing a bit more digging regged the below

Adaptive Implants . (com)

Also found some further info on it......

Hey @NickB

Thanks for the quality links. Love this topic myself, and I've been extremely focusing on this area since ~2013.

Indeed it's a huge market, and really has many topics within, and interfaces with all sectors. From medicine to robotics, from gaming to smart living, and everything in between. Lots of innovation and startups operating in this field. There are end-buyers with deep pockets, and it's not overhyped on Reddit yet

 

You didn't by any chance grab a few "sensors" domains

Autonomous & Active keywords spring to mind.......

I checked and they were regged

 

Mankind cannot ever have enough sensor domains, @NickB

But not today

After reading your posting I realized that Adaptive // Material // com was still missing in my Domain Cabinet of Curiosities, so I registered it today. The plural was already taken by someone else.

Still related to this "broad niche" topic -- smart materials in technology -- I really think you like autonomous robot insects, drone insects, spy insects, and robot insects. They're such smart little creatures. Hope they will never be used against humanity.

 

That was on my list, hesitation is not good when you promote a new niche on a public forum

Been reading up those little creatures, they're already being for some military missions as drones.......only a matter of time before they weaponise them - unfortunately......

 

Oops, that wasn't my intention. When the domain sells, I think I owe you a tiny rebel beer @NickB

 

All good, I know before starting these threads it's going to happen

Happened with some Defi domains - first come, first served and best of luck

 

Interesting topic with some crossover to 4dprinting of materials and structures too, and biomimetics. As with other tech, you can see a tech will be big but you can't be sure what name the public will use, what domains people will use, and what domains will sell. Fascinating.

Plenty of short domains available with suffixes to animate:
bot
mag
services
gear
ware
tree
cube
stuff
smart etc etc
