In 2003, Mother Nature turned off the lights on the East Coast. The reason: a short circuit a hot summer day caused on by a chance encounter between an overgrown tree branch and a sagging power line. The problem quickly cascaded through the system, triggering the biggest blackout in North American history.

Humans can now pilot drones with their brains, scientists are making an end run around the bug that causes tuberculosis, and bacteria in the belly have been found to produce a charge. We’ve got a gut feeling there’s something that might electrify you, too, in this week’s premier scientific discoveries.

Scientists have figured out how to 3D print tiny objects from graphene, the world’s strongest material, and use to same stuff to make an eye implant that could reverse vision loss. They also found a fast way to suck out CO2 from the atmosphere and store it in rocks. Plus: a better alternative to the stethoscope and an intricate map of the brain.

"Artificial intelligence can detect eye disease with the best of them (the best being trained doctors), a crucial protein could be leukemia’s Achilles’ heel, and disease treatment might be revolutionized by drugs that “silence” gene expression — the medical field is advancing by leaps and bounds in this week’s best scientific discoveries. Also, there’s ""weaponized slime"" against pirates.

High above in the treetops, flying contraptions dart in and out of the branches, buzzing as they collect vital material. Though they may sound like a swarm of hornets, they are actually more benign, industrious creatures: unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, inspecting the electrical grid.

Researchers in Berkeley are working on a way to implant and erase sensations in the brain with a holographic laser, engineers in Canada plan to use “spooky action at a distance” to sniff out planes and missiles invisible on radar, and a “stealth startup” near Boston is seeking to reverse aging in dogs and potentially humans. This weekly dose of science could have a lasting impact.
