5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner
August 13, 2016
Here at GE Reports, we’ve heard about “neural dust,” but we’ve never seen a single mote. Until now. The technology, which may have profound implications for our brains, bodies and who we are as species, is becoming a reality. We also learned that your brain understands physics even if you don’t and that mosquitoes hate the smell of chicken, a discovery potentially opening a new poultry front on malaria and Zika. Proceed with courage.

This week we learned about an ingenious English bar owner who built a Faraday cage around his watering hole to disconnect customers’ cellphones, plus a tool developed at Brown University that can study the impact of brain trauma down to the level of individual neurons. We also learned about new genetic clues to body-part regeneration. We can’t help you generate new brain cells, but read on and hopefully grow a few new synapses.

This week we learned about German bacteriologists who picked a powerful new antibiotic made by a microbe that lives in people’s noses, a leaf-like solar cell that turns CO2 into usable fuel and an arctic heatwave that released anthrax spores from decades-old frozen reindeer. There’s more Proceed with caution.

This week we learned that astronomers looking at a star in our cosmic backyard found three “potentially habitable” planets spinning around it, scientists from the U.K. discovered a source of true green energy when they turned grass intro copious amounts of hydrogen, and biologists in Africa observed humans and birds communicate with one another and exchange honey-hunting tips. Read on and marvel.

This week we learned that keeping quiet makes even computers look smarter, we wondered how viruses and diseases can determine what we do and even who we are, and we pondered the mysteries of the universe that could be discovered by a new, robot-assembled space telescope. Read on, quietly.

How CSIRO and GE are shaping our future

July 14, 2016
CSIRO and GE share common goals: to shape the future and deliver solutions that make a difference. Both organisations are rapidly harnessing digital technologies to enable new approaches and momentous discovery through data mining. At the same time, digitisation is driving organisational transformation at the national science agency and the multinational corporation alike.

This week we learned about a tiny robotic stingray bioengineered from rat heart muscle that can navigate an obstacle course, 3D-printed “micro-rockets” made from biodegradable silk that could one day target cancer in the body like a missile, and a programmable genetic vaccine against Ebola, malaria and the flu that can be made in just seven days and was 100 percent effective in tests in mice. Read on if you dare!

This week’s haul of news from the frontiers of science and innovation includes a piece about a nimble AI that shot down a seasoned Air Force pilot during a dog fight simulation, an article about a federal approval for the first human trial involving the DNA-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 and a story about Israeli researchers who hacked a PC disconnected from the internet via its cooling fan.

It’s been an exciting week for brains and biology. Scientists in Oregon have used a combination of software and brain imaging to read the human mind, their colleagues in England developed a “bio-ink” that can be used to 3-D print living tissue, and a neuroscientist in Canada found a way to evoke and erase memories. Welcome to a brave new world. Read on!
