Topics: Sperm cells have been created from the skin cells of a mouse, and how this might someday allow a woman to provide sperm formed from her skin cells to make another woman pregnant, or even to make herself pregnant.

Also: Traveling to Mars in only 30 minutes; a solar cell so thin and light it can rest on a soap bubble; why roboticists are raving about Google's new Atlas Robot; the media's fear of robotic AI; why Mercedes is pulling robots from the factory floor; Google's neural network can tell where photos were taken just by looking at them; and my participation in a video series from the Tennessee Valley Interstellar Workshop entitled "From Here to the Stars."
