This week we learned about an A.I. potentially smarter that three-quarters of American adults, read about a soft robot that can keep a weak heart beating and watched Venus do The Wave. Raise your arms and say yeah!

5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

January 06, 2017
It’s the start of 2017, and we can’t help but wonder what amazing scientific advances await. Judging by the year’s first haul, we may soon be able to push things around with tractor beams, print electronics on paper and toast to science with a glass of chardonnay nurtured by data. Cheers!

16 Coolest Things On Earth In 2016

Last January, we launched a weekly column taking stock of the most exciting research taking place outside GE labs. It's been a blast. We've learned about a novel written by an AI, mind-controlled robots, roads paved with solar panels, a way to reverse aging in mice, and even a submarine that found a long-lost Loch Ness monster. Cheers to science and happy New Year!

What are we made of? Finding our pioneering spirit to drive growth

December 23, 2016
Presented to Melbourne Business School, October 24th, 2016
I was lucky enough to be in Rio for the Olympic Games this year.

Like many Australians, I love my sport. Rio was my fourth Olympics and it was a really great experience – I saw Usain Bolt win the hundred metres, I watched the final of the beach volleyball on Copacabana, which was one of the more unique sporting experiences – the game started at midnight.

The largest Slurpee in the solar system is a billion years old, rubbing stem cells into wounds could be the next big thing, and antimatter behaves according to the laws of physics. What a relief. You never know. It’s still 2016.

Labracadabra Scientists! Have Yourself An Experimental Holiday

December 20, 2016
For anyone seeking to discover their inner Edison, the holidays have come a bit early this year. That’s because last week GE launched a do-it-yourself science channel on YouTube that gives viewers the recipes to perform their own simple (and safe) lab experiments. The initiative, called LABracadabra, teaches anyone to make frothing lemon volcanoes, bubbling lava lamps and foaming fountains using ingredients they can find around the house.

By 2030, there won’t be language as we know it today. It will be the language of the brain. We are on the brink of a revolution in mind technologies, from the road to the skies, according to a Q&A with Geoffrey Ling, Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins and Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and a member of the Global Future Council on Neurotechnologies and Brain Science.

AS: Unlike the previous computers, the GE-225 — as it was called — was a business computer. It stored its own software, handling the input and output of data. We relocated the factory to Phoenix and sold it within GE as well as to the external market. GE used them for general business applications and some scientific work, but mostly to do business processing. I was in charge of the small-computer-systems group, whose job it was to design the circuits, design the logic, plan the system and put it all together.
