Researchers who used stem cells from the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) to create tiny "living robots" were surprised to see the life forms begin reproducing, according to CNN.
The living robots are called "xenobots," ...
Michael Levin of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, a scientist who serves as co-lead author of the research team involved in the discovery, explained that the African clawed frog has its own typical way of reproducing, but once some of its stem cells are separated from the rest of the embryo, these cells apparently adapt to their new environment by "figuring out" a different way of reproducing.
... The stem cells were observed using a form of reproduction called "kinetic replication;"...
