The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week
Doctors learn about the positive effects of an electrical current, algorithms make plants tastier and more nutritious, and researchers get a good look at the functioning of the immune system. Plus: Computers are writing cogent summaries of the latest scientific research, rendering things a little uneasy around the GE Reports offices. For now, though, here’s this week’s coolest things.

This week, researchers rigged off-the-shelf technology to catapult their ideas into the next level. Engineers in California used a movie projector to 3D-print super smooth, bendable objects, a team in Massachusetts analyzed data from drones to spot problems with solar panels early, and a group in New York used Jenga blocks to teach their uncanny robot foresight, spatial reasoning and fine motor skills. Science, it’s all about patience and passion: Plus: A robot develops a model of self, and diamonds from carbon fibers.
