(Natural News) Today’s advancement in stem cell research and artificial chromosomes may help humans make babies with robots in the future, leading artificial intelligence expert Dr. David Levy claimed. According to the author of Love and Sex with Robots, the development of human-robot hybrids may well occur within the next 100 years. Dr. Levy’s predictions were based on a number of studies that […]

(Natural News) In the near future, contact lens might become self-powered wearable tools that can diagnose your health based on your tears. That is because U.K. researchers have found a way to print nanostructure “holograms” on their surface that turns the lenses into “smart” electronics, an article from Nano Werks states. Human tears contain biomarkers that […]

(Natural News) Is it really possible to capture the energy released during nuclear fusion reactions and turn it into an unlimited power supply for the entire world? A startup energy company based out of Washington state says it is, having recently put forth claims that it successfully discovered the “holy grail” of nuclear fusion. AGNI […]

(Natural News) What makes a muscle able to carry over 12,000 times its own weight? Carbon fiber and silicone, according to research published in the journal Smart Materials and Structures. The artificial muscle, the creation of researchers from the University of Illinois, is made from siloxane rubber reinforced with carbon fiber. It is capable of […]

(Natural News) If the thought of sifting through tons of online messages makes your skin crawl, Facebook’s latest project, once it launches, will soon turn that feeling into reality – literally. The social media giant calls it the transcutaneous language communication (TLC) system, which works by transmitting either spoken or written language to a user’s arm. The […]

(Natural News) American researchers presented the very first swimming robots that do not need motors, servos, or a supply of power for propulsion. In a Science Daily article, the soft robots are made of responsive materials that change their shape whenever the temperature shifts. The regular deforming and reforming of their materials allow the robots […]

(Natural News) Dragonflies helped give humanity the helicopter, now they’re inspiring innovations in insulation. Researchers from Newcastle University in the U.K. found an efficient and low-cost method of producing aerogel, a strong and lightweight material commonly used for insulation, by looking at how dragonflies dry out their wings. Aerogel is a synthetic material derived from […]

(Natural News) It wasn’t that long ago when the world saw the first working airplane take to the skies, relatively speaking. Since then, aviation technology has improved by leaps and bounds. Now a brand new one-of-a-kind electric plane has debuted in the U.S. through the Fresno Chandler Executive Airport, and they show that great things […]

(Natural News) What is the strongest material on Earth? If you answered “spider silk,” you have just named the former champion, now demoted to second place. In a study published in ACS Nano, researchers reported that new nanoscale cellulose fibers have become the Superman of building materials. Many of our scientific advances pale in comparison to what nature has […]

(Natural News) An exoskeleton may sound cool, but too much use can give you a painful back. This is what researchers found in a study by the Ohio State University published in the journal Applied Ergonomics. The study followed 12 volunteers who were made to use two pneumatic tools: A torque wrench weighing about 10 […]
