Scientists in the United States have created robots that can spontaneously self-replicate in what they’re calling a "profound" discovery.The study, published on Monday in Proceedings of the National ...

The robots are alive, and now they can reproduce. That’s not a sequel to “The Terminator.” It’s the result of new research showing that microscopic life-forms made of frogs’ stem cells can ...

It might soon be easy to build living robots — because they'll build themselves. New Scientist reports Harvard University, Tufts University and University of Vermont researchers have learned that ...

BOSTON, Mass. (CBS Newspath/WKRC) - Apparently, robots can reproduce. It's happening at a lab near Boston, Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, scientists have created living machines. They are cells ...

Tiny “living machines” made of frog cells can replicate themselves, making copies that can then go on to do the same. This newly described form of renewal offers insights into how to design biological ...

Kinematically Replicating Organisms (KROs; beige) beside loose stem cells (white). AI-designed (C-shaped) organisms push loose stem cells (white) into piles as they move through their environment.

As the human body replaces millions of dead cells every day, it relies on a process of cooperation between cells that evolved as a way to guard against cancer, according to newly published research ...

In the future, scientists could use drugs made from cannabis to fight ovarian cancer. A team of scientists testing the ...

Scientists on Monday announced that they'd optimized a way of getting mobile clusters of cells to organize other cells into smaller clusters that, under the right conditions, could be mobile ...

Humans aren't the only biological systems capable of breaking generational cycles: The cells that make us are, too. New research shows that cells detect when their parent had difficulty dividing and ...
