F0r years, scientists have struggled to build graphene-based electronics that could do the same thing as silicon superconductor chips. A new breakthrough from an international team of scientists might just change all that. These geniuses just invented a new form of graphene that’s ten times more conductive.

Just how smart can a robot get? I suppose that question can only be answered by the creator of the robot. Apart from that, we would also hope to see robots being able to identify with us humans when it comes to this thing called “emotion”, but somehow, to quantify emotion in a digital manner seems nigh impossible – not only now, but in the future as well. Still, hope springs eternal for the perpetual optimist, and a new British research does point to how there might be a method to ensure that robots are able to understand how a human feels. PhD student Mriganka Biswas and Professor John Murray from the University of Lincoln are working on ERWIN, which has been described to be an “emotion robot with intelligent network.”
