Researchers discover enzymes that open new path to universal donor bloodThe quest to develop universal donor blood has taken a decisive step forward. Researchers at DTU and Lund University have discovered enzymes that, when mixed with red blood cells, are able to remove specific sugars that make up the A and B antigens in the human ABO blood groups. The results have been published in the journal Nature Microbiology.

Researchers Find Commanding AI Robots Differently Improves PerformanceResearchers from UC Berkeley and Stanford University found that commanding an AI robot to do tasks differently leads to significant performance improvement in long-horizon, dexterous manipulation tasks without the need for any additional teleoperation. The experiment involved a robot scooping candy and cleaning plates. The researchers believe that creating a way of naturally interacting with AI robots and giving quick feedback is important. Humanoid robots are being developed to potentially replace humans in small businesses, as they don't require a salary and never take a day off.
