Engineers have developed a new micro-motor robot that can identify, trap, and transport individual cells. The tiny machine, which ranges from 5 to 27 micrometers across, can be controlled by both electric and magnetic fields. It is made from a polystyrene sphere coated with chromium, nickel, and gold. The micro-robot’s ability to move autonomously was

The Universe operates on laws of physics that govern everything, including our choices. However, in a patch of empty space, randomness exists in a way that engineers can exploit to create truly unpredictable results. Researchers from institutions in Belgium, Denmark, and Italy have developed innovative technology that allows them to tap into this randomness, generating
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have created a new energy-saving paint that could revolutionize the paint industry. The paint repels heat and can be created in any color. It is also the lightest paint ever created. Rather than being made from pigment, color is created structurally through the arrangement of nanoparticles. Dubbed ‘plasmonic
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now able to interpret human thoughts and create AI-generated images. This feat was accomplished by researchers from Stanford University, the National University of Singapore, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. They designed technology to reconstruct images from recorded human brain activity. While the images created were not perfect, the team
Elon Musk and over 1,000 experts are calling for a pause in the development of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems. An open letter titled “Pause Giant AI Experiments” was prompted by the release of GPT-4 from Microsoft-backed firm OpenAI, which is much more powerful than its previous version. The letter states that AI systems with
Australian-based meat firm Vow has showcased a giant meatball made from the flesh of an extinct woolly mammoth, grown in a lab, at the NEMO science museum in Amsterdam. The meatball was put under a glass bell jar, giving the public a chance to view the breakthrough in the field of meat production. Lab-Grown Meat
The AI chatbot ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, has captivated the public’s imagination with its ability to summarize complex topics and engage in long conversations. This has led to other AI companies racing to release their own large language models (LLMs), the technology behind chatbots like ChatGPT, which will be incorporated into various products, such as
