The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Sam Worley
May 05, 2019

A new kind of immunotherapy could be effective against colorectal cancer, 3D-printed digital microscopes could diagnose disease anywhere in the world, and 3D-printed living tissue could help treat disease way out of this world — even on Mars. Astronauts could also bioprint their own meat. Hungry for more of this week’s coolest scientific news? We’ve got a veritable bio-buffet.

Two Brains, A Computer, And Lots Of Coffee: How A Pair Of GE Engineers Took NASA By Storm

Bruce Watson
August 02, 2017
Imagine a storm whipping across the Martian desert, blasting everything in its path. When the wind dies down, a robot slowly ventures out of a habitat station and into the dusty aftermath, picking its way around rocks and debris. It assembles a solar panel and adjusts an antenna, providing energy to the station and strengthening its connection to Earth. Then it heads back inside where it detects a leak and patches it, making the room safe for human inhabitants.

5 Coolest Things on Earth This Week

October 01, 2016
This week, our extraterrestrial hearing improved with a giant new radio telescope and we also learned of a visionary plan to build a city on Mars. Scientists found a new type of filling that can heal tooth decay, while a ride on a roller coaster could be just what the doctor ordered for your kidney stones. Proceed with courage.

5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner

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.

3D Printing the Soul and Other Ideas From the Final Frontier — Q&A with Adam Steltzner of NASA

Adam Steltzner Fellow At The Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory
October 02, 2015

The Industrial Internet faces perhaps it’s biggest challenge in space — though also some of the greatest opportunities for breakthroughs in machine-to-machine communication and Big Data analytics.

The explosion of data being emitted from everything from hospital monitors to deep-sea oil wells to jet engines is demanding increasingly robust Big Data analytical tools. But perhaps the greatest test for collecting and analyzing data is at the “final frontier,” with the challenges of beaming back information and images from space expeditions.

Chris Fox: 3D Printing to Get to Mars

Chris Fox Manufacturing Net
December 18, 2014
On a recent trip to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the aerospace organization provided some insight to the inner-workings of spacecraft manufacturing. At the Marshall Space Flight Center, they specialize in what can best be described as, the guts of a rocket.
