Ants Don't Have WiFi: Enabling Robotic Agents to Collaborate and Compete without a Communication NetworkIn the animal world there is no WiFi - agents collaborate and compete by sensing and predicting the actions of teammates, rivals, predators, and prey. Likewise, in the engineered world, many of the most promising applications for autonomous robots require them to interact with other agents in the world by sensing and predicting their actions. ...

THE SUPER WORLD OF SUPER FLUIDSWhen cooled to temperatures below approximately 2 K (-271 C) liquid helium starts behaving in very peculiar ways. This behavior has come to be known as superfluidity and is a manifestation of the quantum nature of the system (known as a quantum liquid). Superfluids have been discovered in several other ...

From the Pixar Film to the Empathetic Museum. Dacher Keltner from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley will chart the journey that the science of emotion has led him on in collaborations on Pixar’s film Inside/Out, Emoji at Facebook, and building emotion into museums and our on-line life.Speaker: ...
CRISPR DNA Editing Gets WeirdCRISPR has revolutionized our ability to easily alter genomic DNA, and has quickly created opportunities to change life in important, strange, superfluous and weird ways. Learn how CRISPR has manipulated myostatin to emulate muscular superheroes, manufactured mesmerizing micropigs, manhandled malaria in mosquitos, and might make ...
Genome editing technologies provide the unprecedented ability to modify genetic material in a manner that is targeted, rapid, adaptable, and broadly accessible. Advances in genome editing form the foundation for new transformative applications across all of biology, ranging from highly personalized therapeutics to control of mosquito populations in the wild ...
