The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner
March 02, 2018
This week we learned about lab-grown “mini tumors” than could help doctors pick the right treatments for cancer, microrobots inspired by jumping spiders, and an electronically controlled artificial eye that’s thinner than a strand of human hair and can tune out its flaws. This is all science, friends, no fiction!

The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner

This week we learned about a facial recognition system for cows, a bacterium that consumes toxic metals and poops out gold without poisoning itself, and a live worm that lives inside a computer and can balance a pole on the tip of its tail. Together with the car now orbiting Earth, this week got a lot of mileage out of science.

November 17, 2017
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.

What you’ve heard is true: The robots are coming to take our jobs, writes technologist and entrepreneur Aidan Cunniffe. But instead of fearing our machine counterparts, should we be thanking them? In the future, artificial intelligence and automation technology will begin to take over in a big way, transforming the entire way we do business. In fact, that future is closer.
