The scene of an emergency can be rife with uncertainty, and the last thing first responders need to worry about is whether it’s safe to be there. That’s why scientists at GE Research have started working on a small detector designed to sniff out dangerous chemicals and sound a warning.

Radislav Potyrailo, a principal scientist at GE Research in Niskayuna, New York, has a saying he picked up from one of his mentors: “A day in the library is worth a year in the lab.” So, while other scientists might spend their free time hiking or fishing, Potyrailo likes to pore over the footnotes of scientific journal articles looking for details about how others have tried and failed — or succeeded — and the nuances of their experiments.

Athletes have been wearing electronics that can bend and flex to the shape of their bodies, revealing how many miles they’ve logged, current heart rate and how much energy they burned. They can use the data to constantly improve their training and understand more about how their bodies are reacting to different training regiments.

The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

Tomas Kellner
January 12, 2018
"Scientists at Duke University flexed human muscles grown from stem cells for the first time, a thumbnail-sized sensor connected to a smartphone app can track your sun exposure, and another device can sniff out counterfeit homebrew in your expensive drink. Here’s a toast to science.

This week we watched a robot do a backflip, marveled about an implantable device that can help the brain form memories, and learned about an X-ray-reading AI that outperformed Stanford doctors in diagnosing pneumonia. We are starting to feel sorry for sci-fi writers.

Online retailers have been tracking their customers and their web habits with cookies for years. No wonder their brick-and-mortar rivals are looking for new ways to play the big-data game.
The French startup IRLYNX believes it can help them set sales on fire. The company developed small heat sensors, each just 1 centimeter in diameter, that retailers can place on walls, ceilings and even in light fixtures around a store to track customers.

Sensory Architecture Could Help Kids Suffering From Autism

Zach Mortice
January 25, 2017

Sean Ahlquist, assistant professor of architecture at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan, creates architecture, one of the few design mediums that requires full physical interaction, as a form of therapy for his 7-year-daughter who has autism spectrum disorder. “If we can improve motor skills, there is a correlation to creating opportunities for social interaction,” Ahlquist says.
