The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week
Scientists used gene therapy to regenerate damaged nerve fibers in the eye, formulated a way to 3D-print cartilage found in the knee and developed a blood test that indicates infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in less than one hour. This week’s coolest scientific achievements are written all over the body.

Researchers found a low-energy way to take used cooking oil and turn it into biodiesel, developed a funky new white paint that dramatically lowers the temperature of surfaces it’s applied to, and figured out how promising two-dimensional materials like graphene can be incorporated into inks for 3D printing. As the philosopher once said: We’re living in a material world. These are the week’s coolest scientific achievements.

A microscopic “water bear” uses its fluorescent pigmentation to withstand otherwise lethal levels of ultraviolet light, while a beetle with an elaborate suit of armor can be run over with a car repeatedly — and then dust itself off and keep on crawling. Meanwhile, a vaccine could help patients’ immune systems slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain. Resilience is the watchword in this week’s coolest scientific discoveries.
