The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner

Scientists at Stanford University found a way to train the immune system to track and kill metastatic cancer, a team in the U.K. made a synthetic version of a powerful antibiotic capable of wiping out MRSA and other superbugs, and their peers at Tufts University attached tiny sensors to teeth that can track sugar, salt and alcohol intake. There’s a lot to chew on in this week’s science haul.

"A 3D-printed helmet that can to peer inside your brain, “organs-on-a-chip” could spell the end of drug testing on animals, and a new machine could make it possible to 3D print custom-designed robots on demand. It’s been a busy week for man and machine.

Solar panels that transform rain into energy, a 3D-printed home for $4,000, and medical bandages from sea bass scales. These are no fish tales. This is science!

"Engineers at Stanford found a way to see around corners, their peers in China came up with a 3D-printing drone and scientists in England found a way to hack bacteria and turn them into drug factories. Are you ready for your weekly dose of amazing science?

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!

"Scientists in Canada found a way to decode what people see by monitoring their brain waves, their colleagues in Japan created a ghostly LED light the size of a lentil that floats through the air on ultrasound, and a team in the U.S. is learning from squids and octopuses how to build the perfect camouflage. But there's no place to hide from progress.

"This week we saw a chimeric robot with a doglike body and a snakelike head break out of a Boston lab, learned about molecular machines that can be programmed to starve tumors of blood, and learned about a blood test that can help doctors detect concussion. All this progress makes us feel sanguine about science.

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.

"An AI took a crack at decoding the mysterious language of the medieval Voynich manuscript, Chinese scientists used 3D printers to grow new ears for kids suffering from a rare condition, and their peers developed a coating for cellphones that allows scratches to heal themselves. Even in the dead of winter, the world of science is writhing with life.

Contact lenses tracked rabbits’ blood-glucose levels through their tears. A new drug silenced the “siren call” that helps cancers grow. And a carnivorous plant inspired a repellent to keep ship hulls free of gunk. We’ve got quite a haul this week, mateys. Anchors aweigh!
