Living robots can now reproduce using artificial intelligence. Life finds a way, and the same goes for even robots, according to a group of scientists who say the first living robotic life forms can reproduce.

Living robots can now reproduce using artificial intelligence

In January 2020, a team of scientists from the University of Vermont, Tufts University and Harvard University took stem cells from African clawed frog embryos and formed them into tiny living creatures called xenobots. The xenobots, which are less than 0.04 inches wide, were able to move on their own, communicate amongst each other and heal themselves from an injury, making them the first-ever living robots. But over one year later, the computer-designed creatures have begun to do "something that's never been observed before. " What the team of scientists discovered was the xenobots would move around their environment and find single cells. They would gather hundreds of these cells at once and then assemble an offspring inside their mouth. The best body shape wound up looking very similar to the iconic video game character, Pac-Man.

I programmed some creatures. They Evolved. Synthetic Wavelength Holography. Synthetic Wavelength Holography introduces a novel solution to image hidden objects through scatterers or non-line-of-sight geometries at the physical space bandwidth limit.

Synthetic Wavelength Holography

Current state-of-the-art approaches are either technically limited by the low spatial and temporal resolution of time-of-flight detectors, or by a very narrow viewing angle in which the hidden object can be reconstructed. In our approach, we utilize frequency heterodyning to beat together light at two closely spaced optical frequencies to produce a low frequency ‘synthetic wave’ (beat wave), largely immune to the unknown scattering processes between hidden object and detector.

Entering The Quantum And Creating Miracles. Haber-Bosch Process - an overview. 7.4.1 Iron catalysts Iron catalysts are composed in unreduced form of iron oxides (mainly magnetite) and a few percent of Al, Ca, and K; other elements such as Mg and Si may also be present in small amounts.

Haber-Bosch Process - an overview

Activation is usually accomplished in situ by reduction with synthesis gas. Prereduced catalysts are also commercially available. These catalysts were extensively studied in the past years, so elucidating the mechanism of catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia (Ozaki and Kenichi, 1979). After the 1980s, with the development of a large variety of surface science techniques, involving Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, work function measurements, temperature-programmed adsorption and desorption, scanning tunneling microscopy, and others; the kinetics of nitrogen and hydrogen adsorption and desorption could be investigated, and it was also possible to identify adsorbed intermediates.

Desorption of the ammonia formed into the gas phase. The Great Debate: PARALLEL REALITIES (OFFICIAL) - (Part 1/2) Particles Found to Travel Faster Than Speed of Light. An Italian experiment has unveiled evidence that fundamental particles known as neutrinos can travel faster than light.

Particles Found to Travel Faster Than Speed of Light

Other researchers are cautious about the result, but if it stands further scrutiny, the finding would overturn the most fundamental rule of modern physics—that nothing travels faster than 299,792,458 meters per second. The experiment is called OPERA (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus), and lies 1,400 meters underground in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. It is designed to study a beam of neutrinos coming from CERN, Europe's premier high-energy physics laboratory located 730 kilometers away near Geneva, Switzerland.

Neutrinos are fundamental particles that are electrically neutral, rarely interact with other matter, and have a vanishingly small mass. But they are all around us—the sun produces so many neutrinos as a by-product of nuclear reactions that many billions pass through your eye every second. Breaking the law Reasonable doubt. How Science is Taking the Luck out of Gambling - with Adam Kucharski. NUCLEAR GRAVITATION FIELD THEORY.

How a Flawed Experiment "Proved" That Free Will Doesn't Exist. In the second half of the 19th century, scientific discoveries—in particular, Darwin’s theory of evolution—meant that Christian beliefs were no longer feasible as a way of explaining the world.

How a Flawed Experiment "Proved" That Free Will Doesn't Exist

The authority of the Bible as an explanatory text was fatally damaged. The new findings of science could be utilized to provide an alternative conceptual system to make sense of the world—a system that insisted that nothing existed apart from basic particles of matter, and that all phenomena could be explained in terms of the organization and the interaction of these particles. One of the most fervent of late 19th century materialists, T.H. Exclusive: Humans placed in suspended animation for the first time. By Helen Thomson shapecharge/Getty Doctors have placed humans in suspended animation for the first time, as part of a trial in the US that aims to make it possible to fix traumatic injuries that would otherwise cause death.

Pew Pew! Scientists Build Lasers Out of Sound, Call Them Phasers. Using a nanoscale drum, scientists have built a laser that uses sound waves instead of light like a conventional laser.

Pew Pew! Scientists Build Lasers Out of Sound, Call Them Phasers

Because laser is an acronym for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation,” these new contraptions – which exploit particles of sound called phonons – should properly be called phasers. Such devices could one day be used in ultrasound medical imaging, computer parts, high-precision measurements, and many other places. A laser is created when a bunch of light particles, known as photons, are emitted at a specific and very narrow wavelength. Influence of oxygen on generation of reactive chemicals from nitrogen plasma jet.

Theoretical Approaches - Chemical species generated in plume of N2 plasma jet with O2 Various chemical species are generated from the N2 plasma jet by changing the O2 content in the plasma.

Influence of oxygen on generation of reactive chemicals from nitrogen plasma jet

The most predominant chemical species in the plasma jet is a metastable state N2* [N2(A3∑u+)] of excited nitrogen molecules. The rate coefficient α N2* is expressed as16: {\alpha }_{N{2}^{\ast }}({T}_{e})=2.25\times {10}^{-10}\sqrt{{T}_{e}}(6.8+2{T}_{e})\,\exp \,(-\frac{6.8}{{T}_{e}}) You Don’t Have a Lizard Brain – Daniel Toker. Despite our best intentions, scientists sometimes make a very basic mistake: we look for what makes humans unique.

You Don’t Have a Lizard Brain – Daniel Toker

Certainly, humans are not just unique, but extraordinary. Nothing else in the known universe has produced art, science, technology, or civilization. But, our history of searching for how, precisely, we came to be exceptional has often led to bad science – and to popular acceptance of bad science. Andrew Basiago - Parallel Worlds. What Is Reality? Randy Powell Explains The Vortex. Scientists Turn Bacteria into Mini Cyborg Solar Panels « Invisiverse. Plants all around us capture sunlight every day and convert it to energy, making them a model of solar energy production. And while the energy they make may serve the needs of a plant, the process isn't efficient enough to generate power on a larger scale.

So, scientists from the University of California found a way to treat bacteria with chemicals that turned them into photosynthesis machines, capable of generating products we can convert into food, fuels, and plastics. Scientists Translate Neural Activity Into Synthesized Speech. Neuroengineers at Columbia University have successfully converted human neural activity into synthesized speech. Led by Dr. Nima Mesgarani, their method involved training a deep-learning algorithm to interpret and synthesize the neural patterns of test subjects.

Milankovitch Cycles and Glaciation. Axial tilt, the second of the three Milankovitch Cycles, is the inclination of the Earth's axis in relation to its plane of orbit around the Sun. Oscillations in the degree of Earth's axial tilt occur on a periodicity of 41,000 years from 21.5 to 24.5 degrees. Today the Earth's axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees, which largely accounts for our seasons.

Because of the periodic variations of this angle the severity of the Earth's seasons changes. With less axial tilt the Sun's solar radiation is more evenly distributed between winter and summer. However, less tilt also increases the difference in radiation receipts between the equatorial and polar regions. Company Looks to Freeze a Living Human Brain to "Resurrect" it by 2045. Would you freeze your brain for the chance to live again?

One company claims that by 2045, it will be able to resurrect the dead. Entrepreneur Josh Bocanegra is the head of Humai, an artificial intelligence company that is aiming to “extend and enhance life” by freezing human brains for extended periods of time using cryonics. But Bocanegra’s ultimate goal is to freeze someone’s brain before they die. It’s a lofty goal for a high school drop-out who once set up a dating company that allows singles to share a room for a week. He says that if Humai can transplant a living brain into a bionic body, than it would “achieve a point where no one has to die at all.” “The best-case scenario, however, would actually be to successfully transplant a live person’s brain to the bionic body… to achieve a point where no one has to die at all,” Bocanegra said.
