Not the one above, shamelessly tweaked from Pride & Prejudice, but instead a group from the University of Texas at Austin (of course) turned to a lesser-known work, Mansfield Park, to show off how it could embed information in a polymer. The molecular data-storage technique from UT encoded the quote by using polymers called oligourethanes, which researchers said are highly accessible and encode information with greater density than DNA-based approaches, which rely on nucleic acids. ....
You may have missed… What does a robot think? Talking to yourself isn’t just for humans – it’s for robots, too. Alexa, Google and Siri often hear us incorrectly, so Italian researchers designed a robot that ‘thinks’ to learn why other robots are getting so confused. ‘Pepper’ the robot processes instructions out loud, so the user can see where to troubleshoot.
