StartupsNorthwestern University developed an algorithm that can design purpose-specific robots in seconds. The algorithm was trained on the principles of natural evolution. It is hoped that once the technology is developed further, it could be used to optimize the design of robots intended for applications such as searching for trapped survivors at disaster sites.See the Story

StartupsScientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst created the new sensor. It is claimed to be 100 times more sensitive than existing technologies. Device incorporates a graphene transistor to which all the DNA strands in a sample are tethered. If the sensor detects the unique oscillation frequency which is already known to be produced by the target DNA, it lets the user know that the DNA is present.See the Story

StartupsThree scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on quantum dots. Quantum dots are nanoscale particles that exhibit unusual characteristics thanks to their diminutive size. Their size dependent, color-changing properties have made them perfect for use in TVs and other QLED displays. But their use also extends into the fields of imaging and biomedicine.See the Story
