These Robots Can 'Heal' Themselves
Scientists recently created self-repairing robots, which could help make soft technology more durable.LEARN MORE
Scientists have been able to put bacteria into already-printed objects, but a new approach shows the process might have other applications.
Living cells and robots may seem like polar opposites, but scientists have shown the two can work together by doing weird things, like uploading code for a GIF into bacteria. But a new, even weirder video of a doll getting bacteria-laden ink 3-D printed on its face shows a more practical reason for the two to team up.
The idea of building robots with living cells and tissues isn't new. Some researchers think the biological materials could help machines move more efficiently and precisely.
In the new study, scientists wanted to see if they could create a functional living ink — which they call "flink" — and use it in a 3-D printer.
They created two gels: one with bacteria that breaks down toxic chemicals used in plastic production and another for use in skin replacements and organ transplants.
The team also found the live bacteria helped the gels keep control of their shape and composition. They printed a series of various objects, like a 3-D grid structure and a T-shirt-shaped object. The scientists say neither ink was harmful to the bacteria.
A newly released Google AI tool had been generating false historical images of people of color, prompting Google to stop the tool.

Remnant Fellowship, which Gwen Shamblin created, has faced widespread criticism from former members and others as being "a cult."
The Wisconsin Ethics Commission provided documents on Friday showing that it referred the alleged violations to several county prosecutors on Tuesday.
Wanasayansi wametengeneza roboti zinazoweza kujirekebisha zenyewe, na hivyo kufanya teknolojia ya teknolojia iweze kudumu kwa muda mrefu zaidi.Wanasayansi wameweza kuweka bakteria kwenye vitu vilivyochapishwa tayari, lakini mbinu mpya inaonyesha mchakato huo unaweza kuwa na matumizi mengine. Seli hai na roboti zinaweza kuonekana kama pande mbili tofauti, lakini wanasayansi wameonyesha kuwa zinaweza kufanya kazi pamoja kwa kufanya mambo ya ajabu, kama vile kupakia nambari ya GIF kwenye bakteria. Video mpya ya mwanasesere akichapishwa na inki ya 3D yenye bakteria kwenye uso wake inaonyesha sababu ya kufanya kazi pamoja. Wazo la kujenga roboti kwa kutumia chembe na tishu zilizo hai si jipya. Watafiti fulani wanafikiri kwamba vifaa hivyo vya kibiolojia vinaweza kusaidia mashine kusonga kwa ufanisi zaidi na kwa usahihi. Katika utafiti huu, wanasayansi walitaka kuona kama wangeweza kuunda wino hai inayofanya kazi - ambayo wanaiita "flink" - na kuitumia katika printa ya 3D. "Waliunda ""gel"" mbili: moja yenye bakteria ambayo huvunja kemikali zenye sumu zinazotumiwa katika utengenezaji wa plastiki na nyingine kwa ajili ya matumizi katika uingizwaji wa ngozi na uingizaji wa viungo." Timu hiyo pia iligundua kwamba bakteria zilizo hai zilisaidia gel hizo kudhibiti umbo na muundo wake. Kwa mfano, kuna picha ya picha ya 3D ya gridi ya 3D na picha ya T-shirt. Wanasayansi wanasema kwamba wino huo haukuumiza bakteria hizo. Google AI imefunua picha za uwongo za watu wenye rangi, na Google imesababisha kutengeneza picha za rangi. Maduka ya dawa yanaripoti matatizo na bima ya bili ya kujaza dawa. Apple iPhone inaweza kupata kukwama katika hali ya SOS wakati kuna huduma spotty. Hapa ni kwa nini, na jinsi unaweza kupata nje ya hayo. Kituo cha Marekani cha Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa (CDC) kimesema kuwa hali ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa ya hewa. Remnant Fellowship, ambayo Gwen Shamblin aliunda, imekabiliwa na ukosoaji mkubwa kutoka kwa wanachama wa zamani na wengine kama "dini". Tume ya maadili ya Wisconsin ilitoa hati Jumatano kuonyesha kwamba ilirejelea ukiukaji huo kwa waendesha mashtaka kadhaa wa kaunti.
