Prostate cancer is taking a heartbreaking toll on families across Kenya. Too many men are being diagnosed at advanced stages, while others have sadly lost their lives. We urgently need greater awareness, early detection, affordable screening and accessible treatment. Every life matters. #ProstateCancerAwareness
🚨 Scientists Created a Robot With Real Living Human Skin That Can Smile!
Imagine a robot looking at you and smiling—with real living skin grown from human cells. It sounds like science fiction, but researchers at the University of Tokyo have made it a reality.
Led by Professor Shoji Takeuchi, the team grew human skin tissue in a laboratory and attached it to a robotic face. But there was one major challenge: how could living skin stay attached without tearing whenever the robot moved?
The scientists found an unusual solution. They created tiny, V-shaped holes in the robot’s face and filled them with collagen gel, allowing the living skin to anchor itself much like human skin attaches to underlying tissue.
The result? When the robot moved its face, the skin stretched into a smile and returned to its original shape. Even more fascinating, the living tissue could repair small cuts under suitable conditions.
This breakthrough could help scientists develop better methods for testing cosmetics, training plastic surgeons, and studying skin aging. Future versions might even include sensors that help robots detect touch.
The next generation of robots may not just look more human. Their faces could be made from living tissue that can heal itself.

North and south are real directions. They help us know which way to go.There is no real “up” or “down” in space.
When people say “go up to North America” or “go down to Australia,” they are just talking normally. It does not mean you are moving up or down toward the middle of space.
