The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

"Scientists in Canada found a way to decode what people see by monitoring their brain waves, their colleagues in Japan created a ghostly LED light the size of a lentil that floats through the air on ultrasound, and a team in the U.S. is learning from squids and octopuses how to build the perfect camouflage. But there's no place to hide from progress.

A Ukrainian startup is 3D-printing tiny homes, Israeli researchers helped paralyzed rats walk again and engineers in Japan built a robot that rolls — or rather crawls — with the punches. We find all this progress deeply moving, don’t you?

This week we watched a robot do a backflip, marveled about an implantable device that can help the brain form memories, and learned about an X-ray-reading AI that outperformed Stanford doctors in diagnosing pneumonia. We are starting to feel sorry for sci-fi writers.

A team in Canada resurrected an extinct pox virus, Harvard researchers encoded a “short movie” into living bacteria, and scientists in California found a way to regenerate a rat brain with electricity. This is what we call brain power!

Brain-computer interface devices that read minds and act on intentions are the latest headlines from Elon Musk and Facebook, and they can change lives for the better. But they could also be put to nefarious use in the not-too-distant future. Now's the time to think about risks, write neurology and engineering experts from the University of Washington.

Synthetic biologists at Boston University hacked human cells and made them add and subtract numbers, their peers at MIT bioprinted a bacteria-ridden fabric that will keep sweaty gym rats cool, and a team based in Boston and San Diego developed a Saran wrap-like electrode for the brain that “could lead to high performance brain machine interfaces.” This is science, not fiction.

Could You Soon Fly An Airplane With Your Mind?

December 09, 2016

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.

June 24, 2016
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!
