In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we cover exciting new 'living robots' called xenobots — made from frog cells with the help of a supercomputer — and what they might be used for down the road.
An anthrobot is shown, depth colored, with a corona of cilia that provides locomotion for the bot. Xenobots—a new classification of robots built from biological cells—evolved from theory to reality in ...
Recent studies reveal that cells in a 'third state' can adopt new functions even after their host organism has died. This groundbreaking discovery challenges conventional views on life and death.
Apparently, robots can reproduce. Last year, a team of scientists from the University of Vermont, Tufts and Harvard took stem cells from a frog and turned them into robots, specifically tiny creatures ...
