Scientists Just Grew a Human Spinal Cord in a Lab
Northwestern researchers grew a miniature human spinal cord, injured it, and healed it with 'dancing molecules' — the same therapy that reversed paralysis in mice.
Exploring topics we know nothing about, with accompanying blogs and research.

A Robot Just Learned to Talk by Watching Itself in a Mirror
Columbia University's EMO robot taught itself to speak by observing its own reflection, achieving near-perfect lip sync across 10 languages. We explore the science, the mirror test connection, and what it means for the future of human-robot interaction.
