Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory use a slew of autonomous robots to design and ...

Robots revolutionized the manufacturing industry by automating assembly lines. Now, more and more, they are being used to expedite the pace of scientific discovery. Neutron scattering instruments are ...

A $2,500 pair of humanoid robot legs built from 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelf components is not going to win marathons just yet. But such relatively inexpensive hardware could enable researchers ...

Machine-learning models can speed up the discovery of new materials by making predictions and suggesting experiments. But most models today only consider a few specific types of data or variables.

Science guy Steve Spangler returns to demonstrate hands-on science experiments perfect for celebrating Independence Day.

Science laboratories across disciplines--chemistry, biochemistry and materials science--are on the verge of a sweeping transformation as robotic automation and AI lead to faster and more precise ...

Japan just cracked the code on 24/7 medical research. Ten robots at Tokyo University of Science’s new Robotics Innovation Center handle complex experiments while human researchers sleep at home. This ...

A robot showed basic signs of self-consciousness in an experiment that required the robot to hear its own voice and reason. Three Nao robots were programmed to understand the rules of a simple task.

The consumable part of the robot is made of a gummy candy-like material sweetened with sugar and apple juice. It’s connected ...
