Cash cows: Transgenic cattle could boost insulin production and lower its cost. Credit: Pixaobay A recent study reveals that a genetically modified cow has successfully produced milk containing human insulin. This breakthrough suggests a potential solution to ensure sufficient insulin production at a reduced cost for all diabetic patients. Type 1 diabetics,...
Thanks to a collaboration between Figure and OpenAI, the Figure 01 humanoid robot can now converse with people in real-time, and act on requests to do stuffFigure In a recent video release, Figure showcased the initial outcome of its partnership with OpenAI to augment the abilities of humanoid robots. The Figure 01 robot is shown...
Digit is currently being trialed as a way to relieve workers of difficult repetitive tasks, not relieve them of their jobs, says AmazonAgility Robotics Tall, proficient, and resembling insects to some extent, a fleet of Digit robots is currently navigating vacant bins within an Amazon research and development facility. This trial marks the initial phase...
Punyo is a torso-up soft humanoid robot designed to pick things up using its arms, chest and shoulders instead of just its handsToyota Research Institute The majority of humanoid robots typically use their hands to pick up objects, but this method doesn't mimic human behavior accurately, especially when dealing with bulky items. Humans utilize not...
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic found almost everywhere, even in human placentas. A new study looked at how common these microplastics are and what types are present. Researchers started by breaking down 62 placenta samples to find the microplastics. They used a machine called an ultracentrifuge to separate them out and then heated...

A first-in-human trial found that inhaled graphene oxide produce no short-term ill effectsDepositphotos A human trial found that inhaling an ultra-pure version of graphene, known as the "wonder material," didn't cause any immediate negative impacts on lung and cardiovascular health in a limited number of healthy participants. This pioneering study paves the way for exploring...
Wake up, human, the world has changed againOpenAI Sora Less than a year ago, AI-generated video was considered a joke; now, look at the advancements. OpenAI's latest model, Sora, transforms descriptive text into video, marking a significant leap forward that is nothing short of astonishing. Sora generates "realistic and creative scenes" from textual prompts. Users can...
Norwegian humanoid robot manufacturer 1X states that the video is devoid of teleoperation, computer-generated imagery, editing, speed alterations, or pre-planned movements. Instead, it is entirely guided by neural networks, operating autonomously at normal speed. This is the company that OpenAI supported with its chips last year by investing $25 million in a Series A funding...
