Scientists are moving forward in the effort of making robots more human-like. Here’s all you need to know about skin for biohybrid robots. Biohybrid robots to have human-like skin Scientists were successful in putting together living skin on a joint robotic finger. This was possible by culturing a “single piece of skin tissue surrounding the […]
Tokyo [Japan], February 9 (ANI): It is a well-known fact that Mars once had oceans in part due to a protective magnetic field similar to Earth's. The layer of ice on the cap of the planet says it all. However, the magnetic field disappeared, and a new research may finally be able to explain why.
