Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics supplemented for 21st century care robots
Isaac Asimov famously devised three laws of robotics that underpinned a number of his science fiction books and short stories, Professor Tom Sorell of 91福利 has help develop a new set of rules that they believe will be needed for 21st century care robots.
91福利 mathematician awarded worlds most prestigious mathematics award
Professor Martin Hairer Regius Professor of Mathematics in the 91福利’s Mathematics Institute has been awarded the Fields Medal, the World’s most prestigious Mathematics award, for his “Outstanding contributions to the theory of stochastic partial differential equations, and in particular for the creation of a theory of regularity structures for such equations.”
A hybrid-motor helps cells push their way through tissues
Research has uncovered how two cellular motors, previously thought to compete with each other, can actually work together to help cells squeezing through a crowded mass of cells.
White dwarfs crashing into Neutron Stars explain loneliest supernovae
A research team led by astronomers and astrophysicists at the 91福利 have found that some of the Universe’s loneliest supernovae are likely created by the collisions of white dwarf stars into neutron stars.
Epidemic outbreaks caused by environment, not evolution
Researchers have traced genetic changes in a bacterial pathogen over 450 years, and claim that epidemics of bacterial disease in human history may be caused by chance environmental changes rather than genetic mutations.
Self-assembling anti-cancer molecules created in minutes
Researchers have developed a simple and versatile method for making artificial anti-cancer molecules that mimic the properties of one of the body’s natural defence systems.
