The virus, dubbed Evo-Φ2147, was created by scientists from scratch using new technologies that could revolutionise the course of evolution. With just 11 genes, compared to the 200,000 in the human genome, this virus is among the simplest forms of life. However, scientists believe that the same tools could one day create entire living organisms or resurrect long-extinct species. This artificial virus was specifically created to kill infectious and potentially deadly E. Coli bacteria.

This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. A chatbot that meets the hype is finally here. On Thursday, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a bot that converses with humans via cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The bot can help you write code, compose essays, dream up stories, and decorate your living room. And that's just what people discovered on day one.
Scientists are developing a robot with electronic HAIRS that mimic the natural touch of human skin
The idea of a robot with hairy arms may sound like a concept from the latest science fiction blockbuster. But the bizarre invention could soon become a reality, as scientists have taken a major step forward in the development of electronic skin with integrated artificial hairs. Hairs allow for'natural touch' and let us detect different sensations such as rough and smooth, as well as the direction the touch is coming from. Researchers from Chemnitz University of Technology say the'e-skin' could have a range of uses in the future, including skin replacement for humans and artificial skin for humanoid robots. Researchers from Chemnitz University of Technology say the'e-skin' could have a range of uses in the future, including skin replacement for humans and artificial skin for humanoid robots Touch is the least understood of our senses, but a 2011 study revealed that specialised neurons in hair follicles each work as individual sensory organs, tuned to register different types of touch.
