- Researchers have engineered a device that delivers a tiny, high-pressure jet of medicine through the skin without the use of a hypodermic needle. The device can be programmed to deliver a range of doses to various depths — an improvement over similar systems commercially available. http://www.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/needleless-injections-0524.html 86 comments science

- A new way of creating surface textures on glass, developed by researchers at MIT, virtually eliminates reflections, producing glass that is almost unrecognizable because of its absence of glare — and whose surface causes water droplets to bounce right off, like tiny rubber balls. http://www.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/glare-dust-and-fog-free-glass-0426.html 758 comments science

- In the not-too-distant future, plastic chips the size of flash cards may diagnose diseases such as AIDS and cancer, as well as detect toxins and pathogens in the environment. Such lab-on-a-chip technology — known as microfluidics — works by flowing fluid through channels on a polymer surface. http://www.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/manufacturing-polymer-microfabrication-0329.html 4 comments science
- Gliomas, the most common types of brain tumor, are also among the deadliest cancers: Their mortality rate is nearly 100 percent, in part because there are very few treatments. Researchers can now identify a particular subset of brain tumors, which may help choose treatments and create new drugs. http://www.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/brain-scan-0112.html 4 comments science
