Discovery advances a range of robotic technologies
Although robotic devices are used in everything from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have difficulty accounting for the friction that occurs when robots grip objects — particularly in wet environments. …
Future of digital memory storage may be in chemically synthesized DNA
The color of a person’s eyes, the thickness of a potato’s skin, the shape of a flower: What do these seemingly disparate elements have in common? They are all shaped by DNA, which carries the genetic instructions that shape life. What if DNA could encode more than genetic …
