December 20, 2019
As 2019 winds down, while Santa’s elves seal up their boxes and tune up the sled, and scores of others get ready for some well-earned time off, many publications compile lists reflecting the most memorable artifacts of the past 12 months: highest-rated movies, most-streamed albums, best new restaurants. In addition to designating its Person of the Year, for instance, Time magazine issues an annual Best Inventions list, recognizing the biggest ideas to capture the public’s attention — a category squarely within GE’s wheelhouse.

All that and more in this week’s coolest scientific advances.

To Infinity And Beyond: These Crystal Sensors Can See Blasts From Black Holes And Also Cancers

Brendan Coffey
August 19, 2019
In the 1960s, satellites monitoring Soviet nuclear tests noticed huge, curious flashes of radiation. Rather than coming from the ground below, they were arriving from deep space. After decades of study, these rapid flashes of the most energetic form of radiation — known as gamma ray bursts or GRBs — remain one of the biggest mysteries of the cosmos. Scientists believe they could be powerful burps emanating from black holes after they lunched on a large star, or they could be caused by a handful of other extreme events taking place across the universe.

Liza Smith
June 03, 2019

American nurse Marie Elizabeth Bell recently spent nine months in Papua New Guinea, where she worked at the Kunai Health Centre in the southwestern Pacific country’s remote Gulf Province. One patient left a particular impression on her: a woman named Yaniamo, who had experienced nine pregnancies — twice with twins — but had only six living children. Yaniamo was pregnant again, and when her water broke unexpectedly, she began to fear complications. She needed care from Bell’s clinic — a two-day walk from Yaniamo’s home. So she walked.

The Vroom Vroom Room: This Mobile MRI Trailer Helps Patients On Finland’s Frozen Frontier

April 11, 2019

Northern lights and elk steak dinners aside, living in northern Finland is not for the faint of heart. As the region is bisected by the Arctic Circle, local thermometers frequently dip below zero — Fahrenheit, that is — during the winter months, when night reigns in the far north and daylight lasts no more than a few hours a day farther south. The place can also be quite solitary.
