Tiny biological machines called Xenobots can gather cells to create smaller versions of themselves.

Scientists have developed the first living robots known as Xenobots - made up of almost 3,000 frog cells - that can reproduce via a self-replicating process.

To persist, life must reproduce. Over billions of years, organisms have evolved many ways of replicating, from budding plants to sexual animals to

AI-designed Xenobots reveal entirely new form of biological self-replication—promising for regenerative medicine

Get ready for Xenobots 2.0. The same team has now created life forms...
