They have created a miniature T-1000?

Some foolish Japanese scientists have developed a chemical
compound capable of moving on it's own. They're convinced it's the
stuff future robots will be made of. I'm convinced I just let one
loose in my pants.
A group of Japanese roboticists, led by Shingo Maeda at the
Shuji Hashimoto applied physics laboratory at Waseda University,
have created a chemical gel capable of independent motion, similar
to that of a caterpillar.
Using a process that combines polymers, the material not only moves
on its own, but also can change colors and can be used to perform
calculations. According to the scientists involved in the project
the morphable material could even one day be used as
components of a future robot, thus making the notion of the
incredibly scary Terminator T-1000 a real possibility.
That's....terrible news. WTF, ROBOTICISTS? Roboticists shouldn't
even be a real thing. If I close my eyes and say, "roboticists
don't exist" three times they should all disappear, right? Okay,
*covering eyes* "roboticists don't exist, roboticists
don't exist, roboticists don't exist". There *uncovering
eyes* HOLY SHIT -- BLOODY MARY, AAAAAAAAHHH!
