Need life advice? Scientists create an AI chatbot that lets you talk to your future self
While scientists haven't invented a time machine just yet, there is now a way for you to get some much-needed advice from your older self. Experts at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created Future You – an AI-powered chatbot that simulates a version of the user at 60 years old. The researchers say that a quick chat with your future self is just what people need to start thinking more about their decisions in the present. With an aged-up profile picture and a full life's worth of synthetic memories, the chatbot delivers plausible stories about the user's life alongside sage wisdom from the future. And, in a trial of 334 volunteers, just a short conversation with the chatbot left users feeling less anxious and more connected to their future selves.

Scientists create a model human embryo with its very own heartbeat
A model human embryo with a heartbeat and traces of blood has been created by scientists in a move that could offer insights into the first weeks of life. The synthetic structure was created from human stem cells without the need for eggs, sperm or fertilisation. It replicates some of the cells and structures that would usually appear in the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy, but was designed to never have the ability to develop into a foetus. Despite the heartbeat, the structure does not have the tissues that go on to form the placenta and yolk sac in a natural embryo. 'I'd like to emphasise that these are neither embryos nor are we trying to make embryos,' said Dr Jitesh Neupane, from the University of Cambridge's Gurdon Institute.
Where do YOU think the North of England begins? Scientists create a controversial new map
It is a debate sure to ruffle feathers, but anything beyond the Watford Gap really should be classed as the north of England, a study suggests. This is the critical line at which high street bakery Greggs, the beacon of northernness, becomes more popular than the southerners' sandwich shop of choice, Pret A Manger, an academic study has worked out using artificial intelligence. If the national consumption of steak bakes versus houmous-filled wraps and smashed avocado on toast were not convincing enough, the researchers also looked at the distribution of Morrisons and Waitrose supermarkets across England. This too put the north-south divide within two miles of the Watford Gap. Both calculations agree that Birmingham, Coventry and Leicester are technically in the north of England. But bizarrely, the Pret and Greggs dividing line shows that Cornwall is northern.

Robots could go full 'Terminator' after scientists create realistic, self-healing skin
Fox News correspondent Grady Trimble has the latest on fears the technology will spiral out of control on'Special Report.' Robots could soon be cloaked in human-like synthetic skin, similar to the cyborg assassin of the "Terminator" movie franchise, after Stanford University researchers developed an ultra-realistic, self-healing material. Researchers have been studying and developing convincing skin materials for robots for years, with Stanford professor Zhenan Bao touting the first multi-layer self-healing synthetic electronic skin back in 2012. More than a decade later, Bao and fellow researchers have taken their studies even further into the future: layers of synthetic skin that can now self-recognize and align with each other when injured, simultaneously allowing the skin to continue functioning while healing. "We've achieved what we believe to be the first demonstration of a multi-layer, thin film sensor that automatically realigns during healing," Christopher B. Cooper, Stanford Ph.D. student and co-author of the study, told SWNS.

Scientists create a robot that can smell and identify odors
Researchers from Tel Aviv University have created a robot that can smell and identify odours using a biological sensor. The researchers connected the sensor to an electronic system. They used a machine learning algorithm to detect odours with a level of sensitivity that is 10,000 times higher than that of a commonly used electronic device. The sensor sends electrical signals as a response to the presence of a nearby odour, which the robot can detect and interpret. According to the University, the researchers say, "The sky's the limit," and believe this technology may also be used to identify explosives, drugs, diseases, and more.
Scientists create the most complex map yet of an insect brain's 'wiring'
Researchers understand the structure of brains and have mapped them out in some detail, but they still don't know exactly how they process data -- for that, a detailed "circuit map" of the brain is needed. Now, scientists have created just such a map for the most advanced creature yet: a fruit fly larva. Called a connectome, it diagrams the insect's 3016 neurons and 548,000 synapses, Neuroscience News has reported. The map will help researchers study better understand how the brains of both insects and animals control behavior, learning, body functions and more. The work may even inspired improved AI networks.
Scientists create a wheelchair that can be controlled with your MIND
A mind-controlled wheelchair that translates brain signals into wheel movements brings hope to more than 5.4 million Americans with motor disabilities. The technology, created by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, includes a skullcap with 31 electrodes designed to detect signals in the brain region regulating movement and a laptop fixed on the wheelchair so the AI could translate the signals into wheel movements. And all patients have to do is imagine they are moving their hands and feet. To move right, the users imagined moving both arms and to move left, they imagined moving both legs. A mind-controlled wheelchair proved successful in helping paralyzed patients navigate a cluttered room.

Scientists create 'artificial intelligence baby'
Scientists have created an artificial intelligence that is able to think and learn like a baby. The system is able to grasp the basic common sense rules of the world in the same way as humans can, the researchers who create it say. The breakthrough could not only help advance AI research but also the ways we understand the human mind, scientists say. Children's minds are particularly interesting to AI researchers, since they are able to grasp rules and common sense in a way that remains largely mysterious. Researchers have suggested that computers could be successful in mimicking this system, and that it might be better to simulate a child's brain and teach it rather than attempting to copy the workings of the adult mind. One of their capabilities is "intuitive physics" – the knowledge we have about how things interact that comes to us at an early age.
