Chromosome satellite for both species (Chinese chestnut on the left, American chestnut on the right). Like all chromosomes, these are made of chromatin—a mix of DNA molecules and proteins.

The entire region of the American chestnut satellite appears to be euchromatic. Credit: USDA Forest Service image by Nurul Faridi. The chromosomes of American and Chinese chestnut are not so similar after all, at least in one key region of the…

The researchers taught the robot, called Mobile ALOHA (an acronym for “a low-cost open-source hardware teleoperation system for bimanual operation”), seven different tasks requiring a variety of mobility and dexterity skills, such as rinsing a pan or giving someone a high five. To teach the robot how to cook shrimp, for example, the researchers remotely operated it 20 times to get the shrimp into the plan, flip it, and then serve it. They did it slightly differently each time so the robot learned different ways to do the same task, says Zipeng Fu, a PhD Student at Stanford, who was…
