A new research paper suggests scientists are working on designing robots that could live on muscle cells like humans, ditching gears and motors. Led by Dr. Su Ryon Shin of Harvard Medical School, ...

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 ...

Recounts a foundational shift in the field of robotics, from artificial intelligence to artificial empathy, and foreshadows an inflection point in human evolution. Today's robots engage with human ...

The decision marks a major legal victory for Harvard as it seeks to cut a deal that could bring an end to the White House's multi-front conflict with the university. Reuters, the news and media ...
