I guess that it's a bit similar to the "read this and then eat it" scenario Scientists have unveiled a new kind of 'ink' that disappears from a page 24 hours after printing, allowing paper to be re-used

All I can say is - keep an open mind - in my case, it's very open !! A scientist has put forward the bizarre suggestion that there are two dimensions of time , not the one that we are all familiar with, and even proposed a way to test his heretical idea next year.

What about on the end of my paint brush - that's pretty important to me ! Does paint still have the same glossy appearance after squeezing its way through all the pumps, pipelines and valves in the factory finish shops and finally reaching the component to which it is applied? A desk-sized miniaturized test facility can supply the answer.

Quick analysis is a pretty good feature - I can think of many industrial uses - where can I buy one -- Investigators on a crime scene can now use a new tool for collecting chemical or biological samples.

sounds like cutting edge development work - just keep those "good vibrations" coming Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have transferred information between two “artificial atoms” by way of electronic vibrations on a microfabricated aluminum cable, demonstrating a new component for potential ultra-powerful quantum computers of the future

FOR THE PAST CENTURY, the petri dish has been the best thing available to study cells and tissues outside the body. But cells in a petri dish inhabit an environment that looks nothing like their natural milieu. Engineers and physical scientists, in collaboration with biologists, are demonstrating that the channels and wells of microfluidic devices can mimic the chemistry and physics of biological systems in ways that reveal hitherto unknown biology.

LAST YEAR, enough natural gas to supply 27% of U.S. needs was burned off as waste around the world, according to a new report by the World Bank. Flared natural gas is a by-product of petroleum production and is not generally considered worth capture and sale, the bank adds.
However, the bank estimates the gas could be worth as much as $40 billion if sold on the U.S. market, where natural gas demand is high because of its use as a chemical feedstock and fuel.
