Robots and AI are running experiments around the clock, from battery chemistry to cancer therapies. But can they be trusted ...

Scientists are building autonomous robotic labs powered by artificial intelligence. The goal, they say, is for these robots ...

Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

Life science moves at a frantic pace. New discoveries pop up daily. Researchers chase cures for terrible diseases. They hunt ...

Japan just cracked the code on 24/7 medical research. Ten robots at Tokyo University of Science’s new Robotics Innovation Center handle complex experiments while human researchers sleep at home. This ...

Researchers have developed a digital laboratory (dLab) system that fully automates the material synthesis and structural, physical property evaluation of thin-film samples. With dLab, the team can ...

A robot showed basic signs of self-consciousness in an experiment that required the robot to hear its own voice and reason. Three Nao robots were programmed to understand the rules of a simple task.

Researchers may be able to start running experiments without ever setting foot in a lab. New technology, including artificial intelligence, is increasingly allowing them to delegate all kinds of tasks ...
