60 SECONDS

摘要

Contact lenses containing electronic displays have been placed into the eyes of rabbits to prove they are safe for use in humans. The prototype only has one pixel, but future versions could be used to display emails or video (Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, DOI: 10.1088/ 0960-1317/21/12/125014).Russia's stalled Phobos-Crunt probe has lost its chance to bring samples back from Mars's moon Phobos, Russian news agencies report. The window to fly by the Red Planet is still open, but given that the probe is not responding to commands, it looks unlikely it will make even this in time. Meanwhile, NASA is set to launch its giant Curiosity rover towards Mars on 26 November.
