Researchers have developed a tiny magnetic robot that can take 3D scans from deep within the body and could revolutionise early cancer detection.
The team, led by engineers from the University of Leeds, says this is the first time high-resolution three-dimensional ultrasound images taken from a probe deep inside the gastrointestinal tract, or gut, have been generated.
It paves the way to transforming the diagnosis and treatment of several forms of cancer by enabling ‘virtual biopsies’ – noninvasive scans that provide immediate diagnostic data. These scans allow doctors to detect, stage, and potentially treat lesions in a single procedure, eliminating the need for physical biopsies.
Fans of Studio Ghibli, the famed Japanese animation studio behind “Spirited Away” and other beloved movies, were delighted this week when a new version of ChatGPT let them transform popular internet memes or personal photos into the distinct style of Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki.
A team of MIT researchers recently created the first synthetic muscle actuator that can flex in multiple directions. This study opens the door for more capable soft robots and other advanced medical breakthroughs. Here’s how the team utilized a new 3D printing method, alongside specially made stamps, to grow synthetic muscles in the lab that can replicate the real thing.
Understanding Muscle Architecture and Movement
To understand why you can’t just make a motor that does what a muscle does, you first need to look at how your body operates. When you move your hand, there is a lot more going on than just your muscles pulling in a single direction. Many multidirectional skeletal muscle fibers form intricate patterns and are mounted at angles to produce the exact motions of the human body.
Quantum computers have recently demonstrated an intriguing form of self-analysis: the ability to detect properties of their own quantum state—specifically, their entanglement— without collapsing the wave function (Entangled in self-discovery: Quantum computers analyze their own entanglement | ScienceDaily) (Quantum Computers Self-Analyze Entanglement With Novel Algorithm). In other words, a quantum system can perform a kind of introspection by measuring global entanglement nonlocally, preserving its coherent state. This development has been likened to a “journey of self-discovery” for quantum machines (Entangled in self-discovery: Quantum computers analyze their own entanglement | ScienceDaily), inviting comparisons to the self-monitoring and internal awareness associated with human consciousness.
How might a quantum system’s capacity for self-measurement relate to models of functional consciousness?
Key features of consciousness—like the integration of information from many parts, internal self-monitoring of states, and adaptive decision-making—find intriguing parallels in quantum phenomena like entanglement, superposition, and observer-dependent measurement.

This phenomenon did not surprise Harvard University professor and virtuoso theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, Ph.D., who is convinced AI will soon surpass anything the human brain’s flesh-and-blood machinery is capable of.
“We’re just in the infancy of this era,” Loeb says. “It will be essential for us as a species to maintain superiority, but it will illustrate to us that we are not the pinnacle of creation.”
In a blog post, Loeb ponders how advanced the artificial intelligence of hypothetical alien civilizations could have possibly grown—especially civilizations that might have already been around for billions of years before anything vaguely humanoid appeared in the cosmos. What would the AI’s capabilities look like? What would be its limits? Are there even any limits left?
