A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with various chronic diseases and cancers, including neurodegenerative diseases and ...

Researchers at The Grainger College of Engineering are developing biohybrid robots, mimicking muscles to better understand ...

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

Smart materials can change their shape or form in response to external stimuli, making them indispensable for many applications, including health equipment and automobiles, among others. Now, a ...

For nearly half a century, the dream of microscopic robotics has felt tantalizingly close, yet perpetually out of reach. We ...

A group of scientists have wired a robot with human stem cells and attached a brain-computer interface, enabling the robot to complete tasks assigned to it. Human brains, much like computers, run on ...

An automated cell culture system reduces hands-on time and improves seeding consistency in 96-well microplates. The research ...
