As intelligence moves off screens and into the physical world, we have a rare opportunity to shape how people and machines ...

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have successfully developed a DNA-based molecular controller that autonomously directs the assembly and disassembly of molecular ...

Researchers have developed a human hand-inspired nanorobot made from a single strand of DNA. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has designed this tiny, robotic hand that could capture a virus ...

DNA nanostructures can perform some of the complex robotic fabrication process for manufacturing and self-replication. Building things and performing work with nanorobots has been a major technical ...

When robots are made out of modular units, their size, shape, and functionality can be modified to perform any number of tasks. At the microscale, modular robots could enable applications like ...

(CNN) — Some 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nearest sea, engineering students at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that may change the way the world’s oceans are ...

Discovered: cheaper DNA sequencing, a hopeful HIV mouse study, chewing gum for weight loss, when robots act self-aware, and a math model to identify the origin of one's beer. Mouse study that used a ...

Conceptual image of the Iris rover, a student-built robot included in Astrobotic’s inaugural Peregrine mission. Image: Carnegie Mellon University Astrobotic’s Peregrine lunar lander is slated to blast ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing a DNA-based molecular controller. Crucially, this controller enables the autonomous assembly and disassembly of molecular robots, as opposed to manually ...
