Podcasts about xenobots

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we cover exciting new 'living robots' called xenobots — made from frog cells with the help of a supercomputer — and what they might be used for down the road. Then we challenge how much "junk" really makes up "junk DNA" and discuss the regulatory sequences and other things our DNA codes for that aren't functional proteins. We need your stories — they're what make these bonus episodes possible!

This week Izzo and Magnum were invited on ‘The TLB Podcast' to discuss DARPA, the secretive organization that addresses unconventional solutions to military and intelligence problems. We go over how it was founded, early applications and breakthroughs, it's mission to develop paradigm-shifting solutions, biohybrid research, xenobots, brain-computer interfaces, non-invasive neurotechnology and cognitive enhancement techniques, and the ultimate goal of integrating humans with machines.

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of Discover Daily, we begin with a look at Snap's new fifth generation Spectacles. These  AR glasses boast impressive hardware improvements, including a larger field of view, powerful processors, and a custom operating system. Snap's developer-focused approach aims to foster a robust ecosystem of AR applications before targeting consumers. While the Spectacles have received praise for their technological advancements, concerns about battery life and cost have also been raised.Next, we delve into the revolutionary Tianxing-B battery for electric buses, developed by CATL, the world's leading battery manufacturer. This technology offers an impressive lifespan of up to 15 years or 1.5 million kilometers, along with the highest energy density in the bus industry. The Tianxing-B battery's extended lifespan and high energy density could significantly accelerate the adoption of electric buses globally, reducing emissions and improving urban air quality. As CATL expands its dominance in the battery market, the impact of this innovation extends beyond public transit to the broader electric vehicle industry.Finally, we explore a paradigm-shifting discovery that challenges our understanding of life and death. Scientists have identified a "third state" where cells from deceased organisms can continue to function and even develop new capabilities. This research reveals that the transition between life and death is more complex than previously thought, with profound implications for regenerative medicine and our definition of existence. The ability of cells to reorganize and develop new functions in this "third state" could lead to advanced tissue regeneration techniques and cellular rejuvenation, potentially revolutionizing our approach to aging and longevity.Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

In aflevering 65 van Radio Horzelnest reflecteren samen met techniekfilosoof Julia Rijssenbeek op de synthetische biologie en de vraag: wat is leven? In 1944 houdt de natuurkundige Erwin Schrödinger een voordracht aan Trinity College Dublin met de titel: ‘What is life?' Zijn voordracht is een lang gesponnen antwoord op deze wat-is vraag. Over het meest karakteristieke kenmerk van het leven schrijft hij: “Materie leeft wanneer het doorgaat met ‘iets doen', doorgaat met bewegen, materie uitwisselen met zijn omgeving, enzovoort, en dat voor een veel langere periode dan we zouden verwachten dat een levenloos stukje materie onder soortgelijke omstandigheden ‘doorgaat'.” Schrödingers voordracht bleek revolutionair. Zo beweerde hij ook voor het eerst dat erfelijke informatie lag opgeslagen in een moleculaire structuur, die hij zelf ‘het aperiodieke kristal' noemde, en waarmee hij een wegbereider was van de latere ontdekking van de dubbele helix. Sinds die ontdekking is de met name de genetica en de microbiologie in een stroomversnelling geraakt. In diezelfde stroom duikt nu als nieuw veld de synthetische biologie op, soms beschouwd als een tweede landbouwrevolutie. Waar de eerste revolutie zich richt op de domesticatie van planten en dieren, richt synthetische biologie zich op de domesticatie van de cel en haar onderdelen, met name gericht op voedselproductie, brandstof en medicijnen. Het onderzoek van Julia Rijssenbeek richt zich op de verborgen premissen, denkpatronen en manieren van spreken gebezigd in de synthetische biologie. Tegelijkertijd laat ze zien hoe dit nieuwe onderzoeksveld onze gangbare noties aangaande leven uitdaagt. Hoogste tijd voor een filosofische reflectie op synthetische biologie. . Julia Rijssenbeek is als promovenda verbonden aan de vakgroep filosofie van Wageningen University & Research. In het verleden studeerde ze Filosofie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en filosofie van de economie aan de Erasmus Universiteit in Rotterdam. In haar huidige promotieonderzoek bestudeert ze de filosofische betekenis en ethische implicaties van recente en mogelijk toekomstige ontwikkelingen in de synthetische biologie. Daarnaast werkt Julia als onderzoeker bij FreedomLab Thinktank, een platform waar jonge onderzoekers politieke, technologische en culturele veranderingen proberen te begrijpen. De dansfilm waar Julia aan het einde van het gesprek over verteld gaat 16 maart in première met de titel ‘Cobalt', een samenwerking van Julia, Kim Baraka en Jonas Sacks. TIMESTAMPS 00:00-02:20 – Inleiding 02:20-17:19 – Julia's stage bij Jeantine Lunshof aan het Wyss Institute & Church Lab van Harvard University. Wat is synthetische biologie? en hoe spreken en denken wetenschapper over leven en de relatie tussen leven en techniek? 17:19-22:40 – Machine-ontologie en het machinaal begrepen leven. 22:40-33:29 – Metabolisme, de machine-metafoor en disruptieve techniek. 33:29-45:41 – Synthetische morfogenese, Michael Levin, Xenobots en de samenwerkingvermogens en basale cognitie van cellen. 45:41-57:33 – Hoe daagt de synthetische biologie de techniekfilosofie uit?

In this special episode, Kelley and Eryn wonder out loud for like 27 minutes whether that assimilation life is really so bad… biologically speaking. Topics include tongues with smiley faces, USB Steve Carrell, standing against Hugh erasure, real-life microscopic self-reproducing biological robots, and our resident Purrengi, Soft, who was thankfully quiet the whole show. We are so desperate for Picard Season 2 to end so we can follow our “no current season” rule and finally talk about the dang Borg skull. So, so desperate.

Not long ago a machine designed by a computer and constructed of living cells was something crazy to imagine. Not anymore. In this episode I talk with Josh Bongard and Mike Levin about how this is becoming a reality. There are lots of physical possibilities for how animals and robots can coexist but we have only explored a small part of the morphology design space. Life began on Earth at least 3.5 to 4 billion years ago, and it has been evolving ever since. The diversity of life on Earth today is the result of evolution that occurs by natural selection. But, in the next 100 plus years there won't just be plants, animals and humans from natural selection, there will also be computational designed organisms from AI. Computational designed organisms are living machines inspired by the designs and capabilities of biology and computing. These “biobots” are a new form of artificial intelligence. We also talk about The Institute for Computationally Designed Organisms doing things to create other things, all what is possible and how it can change the world. Furthermore we dive into Xenobots, the first living robots they have built which are able to reproduce. They have repurposed living cells from frog embryos and assembled them into entirely new life-forms that can move toward a target. This discovery may be meaningful for the future of medicine, the environment and even life itself. Who are Joshua Bongard & Michael Levin? Dr. Joshua Bongard is the Veinott Professor of Computer Science at the University of Vermont and the director of the Morphology, Evolution & Cognition Laboratory. His work involves computational approaches to the automated design and manufacture of soft-, evolved-, and crowdsourced robots, as well as computer-designed organisms. Dr. Michael Levin is a developmental and synthetic biologist; the Vannevar Bush Professor of Biology at Tufts University, where he directs the Allen Discovery Research Center, and associate faculty at Harvard University's Wyss Institute. Levin and his colleagues use developmental biophysics, cognitive science, and computational modeling approaches to understand tissue plasticity, especially focused on bioelectrical information processing in non-neural cell networks. Both Josh and Mike are co-directors of the Institute for Computationally Designed Organisms.

Zwei Fragen klären wir heute: 1. Existiert Insiderhandel im NFT-Markt? 2. Setzt Wladimir Putin Xenobots ein? Der NFT-Markt ist nach wie vor hoch interessant für Investoren, aber jetzt hört man von "Insiderhandel" und Absprachen. Was heißt das für den Hobby-Investor und soll man den NFT-Markt jetzt meiden? Jonas Oliver nimmt uns mit in die Biotechnologie und stellt uns lebendige Roboter in Miniatur vor - Nanobots und Xenobots. Was die können und welche Vor- und Nachteile die Mini-Roboter für den Körper haben, das werden wir heute klären. ❓Stellt uns gern Fragen oder schlagt Ideen für die nächsten Podcast-Episoden vor?

Xenobots are very tiny robots composed of organic cellular material. According to researchers, the programmable living things are made of frog stem cells. They can swim in fluid, join forces to act collectively and move small objects, which in the future could make them useful for monitoring radioactivity, diseases and pollutants. This week Kristen Meinzer sits down with Josh Bongard, Veinott Professor of Computer Science, University of Vermont, and Michael Levin, distinguished professor, Vannevar Bush Chair at Tufts University, two of the brilliant minds demonstrating advances in robotics.

En este programa a veces se mencionan palabras muy raras. Esta semana hablamos sobre los xenobots, un concepto a medio camino entre lo artificial y la vida que nos explica Sergio Cordero, incluyendo el estado de su investigación y las posibilidades que pueden traernos en el futuro.Jesús Callejo se remonta a los intentos del ser humano por crear vida, con figuras como las de los golems, los tulpas o los homúnculos. Fran Izuzquiza cree que a veces Sergio y Jesús se inventan estas palabras para parecer más listos. Alberto Espinosa piensa que seguramente Fran sí podría ser mucho más listo, pero es lo que hay.Y lo que también hay es que todas vuestras escuchas nos ayudan a generar ingresos para hacer una gran donación a bancos de alimentos que son vitales para mantener a muchas personas con necesidad. ¡Gracias por escucharnos, y gracias por hacerlo posible!

In this exciting episode, Mitch Belkin and Daniel Belkin speak with Professor Michael Levin about bioelectricity, the electrical potentials that cells use to communicate with one another. Professor Levin argues that bioelectricity is the software of cellular communication and is the medium through which we can control top-down modular programs for cancer prevention, limb regeneration, and birth defect repair. This interview covers how he co-created Xenobots; how somatic cells function like neurons; how his work incorporates insights from Karl Friston on collective intelligence and the free energy principle; and his dream of building an anatomic compiler, a theoretical biological-design program that would allow users to produce any anatomic configuration of any organism using bioelectricity.Who is Michael Levin?Professor Michael Levin is a biologist at Tufts University, where he investigates informational storage and processing in biological systems. He received a dual Bachelor's in computer science and biology at Tufts. He then received his PhD in Genetics from Harvard where he characterized the molecular-genetic mechanisms of embryologic left-right asymmetry. Nature lists this discovery on its 100 milestones of developmental biology of the century. Currently, he is the director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology and the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University. He is the co-editor in chief of the journal Bioelectricity, the founding associate editor of Collective Intelligence, and he sits on the editorial advisory board of Laterality. He has published more than 350 papers. References:Professor Michael Levin's lab website“Molecular bioelectricity: how endogenous voltage potentials control cell behavior and instruct pattern regulation in vivo”Review of Left-Right AsymmetryXenobotsIon flows and regenerationPaper on Harold Burr's work on Bioelectricity in the 1930sBioelectric controls of cell proliferation: Ion channels, membrane voltage and the cell cycleTwitter: @DrMichaelLevin______________________Follow us @ExMedPod, and sign up for our newsletter at www.externalmedicinepodcast.com/subscribeDaniel Belkin and Mitch Belkin are brothers and 4th year medical students.  The External Medicine Podcast is a podcast exploring nontraditional medical ideas and innovation.

Xenobots are collections of living cells and have no brain or digestive system. But in a real sense they can be programmed — to corral other cells, as in this study, or eventually to do other things. That's why the researchers think of them as tiny organic robots. Is this the beginning or end of us as humans ? Is this a good or bad thing ?

How do our bodies know what to become? There are no instructions in our genes that code for the exact 3D structure of our bodies. There's no tiny human contained in our DNA. So, what powers the transformation of the first cell in the embryo to a full-blown organism? Dr Michael Levin is attacking this problem and, in the process of answering it, his lab is uncovering an entirely new way of looking at biology. == What we talk about == 0:04 - Introduction 1:20 - You were a software engineer. How did you get interested in biology? 6:50 - Can bacteria exhibit intelligent behavior? 7:46 - How do organisms take their final shape? 22:51 - How do cells in our body know when to stop multiplying? 27:49 - Analogs of software and hardware in developmental biology 34:20 - Where are the body plans stored in complex organisms like ours? 43:33 - What post-DNA paradigms are important in biology? 48:20 - What is regenerative medicine? 50:20 - How far have we progressed in regenerative medicine? 52:52 - Xenobots: world's first synthetic organisms 1:00:12 - How to program Xenobots 1:05:13 - How do you handle the ethical dilemma while you are working with conscious organisms? 1:10:22 - How do you enable the scientific creativity in your lab and amongst your students? And is it a teachable skill? == About the guest == Michael Levin is a Distinguished Professor in the Biology department at Tufts and serves as director of the Allen Discovery Center. He holds a PhD in biology from the Harvard University. At Tufts, his research group is interested in figuring out how our bodies know what to become. He believes that what guides our body plans is bio-electric communication between different units. Our bodies take shape the way they have because each of our subunits - cells, tissues, organs - collectively decides it to be that way.

Biobot es un vocablo que ha sonado en todos los medios en este comienzo del 2020, si bien no es concepto nuevo. Lo realmente novedoso son una especie de estos Biobots, llamados Xenobots, pertenecientes a la clase de Biobots blandos o suaves. Y es que en Estados Unidos dos expertos en robótica de la universidad de Vermont y dos biólogos de la universidad de Tufss han conseguido unos pequeños robots, a base de células pasivas de la piel y células contráctiles del corazón de una rana africana, la Xenopus Laevis. El nombre de la rana ha valido para bautizar estos Biobots como Xenobots. Acompañanos y vamos a tratar de poner algo de luz en el tema, y en tus oídos, en esta edición de Más Allá de la Innovación, donde los protagonistas son los Biobots.
