"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.

"Scientists are getting closer to bioengineering organs for transplants in humans, regenerating bone to treat injuries and birth defects, and using next-gen materials to heal skin wounds and prevent infection. In this week’s coolest scientific discoveries, we’re becoming just a bit more superhuman — or at least more resilient.

"This week we learned about a cloaking device that helps medicine sneak up on cancer cells, a tiny brain for a tiny drone, and “smart outlets” that can learn the difference between harmless power surges and dangerous ones. What a trip!

"Robots pitched in on delicate eye surgery, scientists 3D-printed soft shapes that can be moved by magnet and researchers figured out a way to predict who’s going to fall ill with the flu virus. We’ve caught the scientific-discovery bug, though, and it doesn’t seem to be going away.

"Researchers at Stanford turned blood cells into neurons, engineers in Germany built software that can see into the future, and their peers in Scotland developed laser for the eyes. You can try to run from science, but you can’t hide.
