Xenobot
Xenobots, named after the African clawed frog ("Xenopus laevis"), are self-healing microbots that are designed and programmed by a computer (an evolutionary algorithm) and built from the ground up using biological cells.
A xenobot is a biological machine under
They are made of skin cells and heart cells, stem cells harvested from frog embryos.
University of Vermont & Tufts University scientists have created this living machine that one day might safely deliver drugs inside the human body—and pave the way for understanding how to form organs for regenerative medicine.
Xenobots can walk and swim, survive for weeks without food and work together in groups, can heal on their own and keep working.
Xenobots could potentially be used to clean radioactive wastes, collect microplastics in the oceans, carry medicine into human bodies or travel to human arteries to remove plaque.
Xenobots can survive in aqueous environments without additional nutrients for weeks, thus making them suitable for internal administration of medicines.

Jacob Haafner
Jacob Gotfried Haafner (Halle, 13 May 1754 – Amsterdam, 4 September 1809) was a German-Dutch travel writer who lived in and wrote extensively on India and Sri Lanka.
His travelogues were noted for their Romantic undertones, lively descriptions of Indian cultures and peoples, as well as criticisms of European colonialism, slavery, and cultural domination.
In 1805, Haafner entered the annual essay contest organized by Teylers Eerste Genootschap (English: Teylers Theological Society).
His anti-colonialist, counter-missionary treatise, titled "Onderzoek naar het nut der zendelingen en zendelings-genootschappen" (English: "Examination of the usefulness of missionaries and missionary societies"), was selected as winner and published in 1807 amidst public consternation.
Jacob Gotfried Haafner was born in Halle, Germany on 13 May 1754 to a French father and a German mother.
The family moved to Emden in northwest Germany where Jacob's father, Matthias, worked as a ship's surgeon for the Emden Company, then to Amsterdam in 1763, when he joined the Dutch East India Company.
Shortly before arriving in Cape Town on a trip to Asia in 1766, however, Matthias Haffner died, leaving 12-year-old Jacob in the care of a foster family in the Cape Colony.
In 1768, Jacob Haafner enlisted as a cabin boy on a ship bound for Batavia (modern Jakarta, then capital of the Dutch East Indies).
There, he worked as a tutor to the children of a high-ranking VOC official.
In 1770, he returned to Amsterdam and became an apprentice to painter and engraver Reinier Vinkeles.
In June 1771, Haafner enlisted as a VOC servant and departed for Nagapattinam, the capital of Dutch Coromandel from 1660 to 1781.
Tired of the sailor's life, he settled in the town and worked in the factory as an assistant bookkeeper from 1773 to 1778, learning Tamil and conducting private trade on the side.
In 1779, he was appointed as secretary-bookkeeper to a branch office in Sadraspatnam.
During the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (1780-1784), he was taken prisoner and held in Madras, where he witnessed the struggle between the British army and Hyder Ali, the Sultan and "de facto" ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, and the famine that crippled the city in 1782.
Released at the end of the year, he arrived at Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) in early 1783.
From June to September, he embarked on a hiking tour of the island from Jaffnapatnam to Colombo, then left for Calcutta in West Bengal.
At the centre of British colonial administration, he found work as a bookkeeper to the former Governor of Benares, Joseph Fowke.
Having developed a profound interest in Indian culture and studied a variety of Indian languages (Tamil, Urdu, Hindi, Telugu, and Sanskrit), he became acquainted with The Asiatic Society, founded in 1784 by Sir William Jones.
In 1786, he traveled southwards along the Coromandel coast through Tamil Nadu and Orissa, covering more than 600 miles by palanquin.
From January to September, he visited shrines and temples, making drawings of ancient monuments such as the temple ruins at Mammallapuram, which he called "one of the most beautiful and largest palaces of [his] time" and compared with the "miracles of Egypt".
The result of this journey is described in "Reize in eenen Palanquin" (English: "Travels in a palanquin"), a narrative work of 2 volumes on the Indian landscape, people, religious customs, and ancient architecture.
To a certain extent, the writer idealized the subcontinent while criticizing the English, among others, for causing havoc and suffering among the local population: "Rascals, squanderers, criminals, bankrupts, and other bad people, every one runs to the Indies, to oppress the poor Indians, to plunder them, and to kill them."
The tragic death of Mamia, a temple dancer with whom Haafner had fallen in love, ended his journey.
He departed shortly afterwards, traveling via Mauritius, South Africa, France, and Germany, back to Amsterdam in 1790.
Upon his return to Europe, Haafner invested his fortune in French bonds, which became almost worthless after the Revolution.
To provide for his family, he opened a pipe shop.
In 1796, he applied unsuccessfully for a job with the directors of the Dutch East India Company.
His travel stories were published between 1806 and 1821, of which three were published posthumously by his eldest son, Christian Mathias.
Together, the five travelogues constituted an autobiography:
They were translated into German (1806, 1809, and 1816), French (1811), Swedish (1811), English (1821), and Danish (1821).
In a French publisher's note, Haafner was lauded as an "original thinker" with a "brilliant and spirited" writing style; an English reviewer wrote: "There is an air of sprightliness about Mr. Haafner, which certainly belies the place of his nativity."
In addition, Haafner worked on a translation of the Sanskrit epic, "Ramayana", which was eventually published in Amsterdam in 1823.
In 1805, Haafner entered the annual essay contest organized by Teylers Eerste Genootschap (English: "Teyler's First Society"), also known as the "Godgeleerd Genootschap" ("Theological Society"), for a cash prize to the question: What has been the use of missionary work in the overseas world in the past and what could possibly be done to improve this work in the future?
In his submission, titled "Onderzoek naar het nut der zendelingen en zendelings-genootschappen" (English: Examination of the usefulness of missionaries and missionary societies), Haafner condemned the behavior of missionaries in the colonies and argued for the complete withdrawal of all imperial powers, citing Voltaire, Rousseau, Bartolomé de las Casas, Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg, Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix, and Thomas Gage.
The essay, eventually published as the contest's winner, prompted heated debates in Dutch missionary circles.
Detractors accused Haafner of relying upon inadequate historical knowledge and false conceptions, and of moral corruption.

Pavel Kutaisov
Count Pavel Ivanovich Kutaisov (Russian:Павел Иванович Кутайсов; 25 November 1780, Saint Petersburg - 9 March 1840, Tambov) — was a Russian Imperial Chamberlain and Steward.
He also served as Chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and was a member of the State Council.
His father, , was the favorite valet of Tsar Paul I and was probably of Georgian origin.
At the age of seven, he was enlisted in the Life Guard Horse Regiment.
By 1796, when he was sixteen, he had already advanced to an important rank, but was not as committed to a military career as other members of his family.
At the request of his father, Admiral Alexander Shishkov took him under his wing for a short tour of Europe, but this apparently did not work out well.
Many of his contemporaries; notably Alexander Bulgakov, spoke poorly of him.
His career was advanced considerably when the Tsar took Anna Lopukhina as a mistress and his father was able to arrange a marriage to Anna's sister, Praskovya (1784-1870).
Although they had five children, he was widely believed to be homosexual.
In 1800, he was named an Imperial Chamberlain.
Upon the accession of Alexander I, he was transferred to the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, where he served until 1809, when he was named a Prosecutor for the Governing Senate.
During the French Invasion of Russia, he led the evacuation of the Senate to Kazan and was awarded a gold snuff box for his efforts.
In 1816, he received a promotion to Privy Councillor and, in 1817, became a member of the Senate.
He also served on various commissions, including oversight of the construction of Saint Isaac's Cathedral and directing operations for the Imperial theaters.
In 1826, he was appointed to the Supreme Criminal Court charged with prosecuting the Decembrists.
In 1832, he became an Imperial Steward.
After receiving two more promotions, he was stripped of his ranks, following the disastrous Fire in the Winter Palace.
In addition to his governmental duties, he served as Chairman of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts and was known as a patron of young artists.
In 1835, he accompanied Mikhail Scotti on a study trip to Italy, and provided a workshop for the brothers Grigory and Nikanor Chernetsov.
