One hundred years ago, it was easy to tell when something was a machine. Machines were “hard and clanky, metallic, and pretty heavy,” as developmental biologist Michael Levin tells Inverse. But lately ...

Scientists have created small, synthetic living machines that self-organize from single cells, move quickly through different environments without the need for muscle cells, can remember their ...
