Robot scientist makes discoveries without human help:
A robot scientist that can generate its own hypotheses and run experiments to test them has made its first real scientific discoveries.
MIT: Batteries built with viruses, nanotech to power cars, devices:
MIT researchers have combined nanotechnology with genetically engineered viruses to build batteries that could power hybrid cars and cell phones. The batteries have the same energy capacity and power performance as state-of-the-art rechargeable batteries being considered to power plug-in hybrid cars and personal electronic devices.
Implantable Telescope for the Eye:
VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies has developed a miniature telephoto lens that can be implanted into the eye and could soon help people with vision loss from end-stage macular degeneration.Humanoid robot helps scientists to understand intelligence
Imperial College London researchers believe their iCub humanoid robot will help them learn more about how humans use cognition to interact with their world. The team will link a computer simulation of a human brain to iCub so that it can process information about its environment and activate its motors to allow it to move its arms, head, eyes and fingers to carry out simple tasks.
