In December of 2014, we talked about a new class of futuristic walking biological robots, developed by scientists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which rely on skeletal muscle cells to move around in response to electrical pulse. As part of a new research, the team has recently unveiled an updated and more advanced…
The 'holy grail' solution of water shortage has always pertained to filtration of salt from the massive quantities of seawater present in our planet. Of course, a few of these desalination techniques already exist in our contemporary technological scope. But this time around, researchers from the University of Illinois may have come up with a…
While our recent times and evolving technologies have tended to stoke the debate concerning the rise of AI, most of it has to do with the 'intelligence' (or capability) intrinsic to the machine. But how does the progressing AI measure up to actual human intelligence? Well a team of scientists from University of Illinois (at…
