Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...

Humanity needs to simplify the technology and products for our civilization but make them fully scalable and self-replicating. The technologies that we pick to scale need to be ones that we can ...

TORONTO, Ontario (CNN) — Scientists in the United States have created robots that can spontaneously self-replicate in what they’re calling a “profound” discovery. The study, published on Monday in ...

Scientists discover QT45, a self-replicating RNA molecule, offering insights into the origins of life on Earth.

Portland, Ore. — Robots at Cornell University are making copies of themselves without human intervention. In principle, the machines will thus be able to repair and reproduce themselves in space and ...

Researchers from prestigious institutions in New York and Ningbo, China, have unveiled a remarkable development: self-replicating nanorobots made entirely of DNA (via Phys.org). These tiny but potent ...

Scientists in the United States have created robots that can spontaneously self-replicate in what they’re calling a "profound" discovery.The study, published on Monday in Proceedings of the National ...

A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...

If the idea of living robots made out of frog cells isn't quite weird enough for you, how about living robots made out of frog cells with the ability to reproduce? These first-of-a-kind "Xenobots" are ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the efficiency of a controllable self-replicating ribonucleic acid (c-srRNA) vaccine against severe acute respiratory ...

These non-living materials will have capabilities including self-healing, adaptation, growth and programmability. The University of Texas at Austin and collaborators at the University of Illinois ...
