Watch out, scientists -- you may be replaced by a robot.
Two teams of researchers say they have created machines that could reason, formulate theories and discover scientific knowledge on their own, marking a major advance in the field of artificial intelligence.
Such robo-scientists could be put to work unraveling complex biological systems, designing new drugs or understanding the cosmos.
Reports about the machines were published Thursday in the journal Science.
