NASA Just Announced More Strange Results From Its Ambitious 'Twin Study'
Long-duration spaceflight does weird things to the human body, even at the molecular level, but so far there's no reason to think humans couldn't survive a two-and-a-half-year round-trip journey to Mars.

A needle that knows where to go.
Syringes and hollow needles have been used to deliver medication for more than a century. However, the precise implementation of these devices depends on the operator, and it can be difficult to deliver medication to delicate regions such as the suprachoroidal space at the back of the eye. Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital have developed a highly sensitive intelligent-injector for tissue-targeting (i2T2) that detects changes in resistance in order to properly and safely deliver medication in preclinical testing.
