...engineering group. The small tattoos could replace the often painful finger-pricks that diabetics endure up to twelve times a day to monitor their blood glucose levels. The ink is composed of a glucose-detecting molecule, a color changing dye, and a molecule that mimics glucose, all of which float in spherical polymer bead. When a glucose-detecting molecule approaches the edge of the bead, it should latch onto either a glucose molecule or the glucose-like molecule. If glucose levels are high, the detecting molecule should attach to glucose in the bead, making the ink appear yellow. If glucose...

...Breen Combes in the Arabian dance was sultry and intoxicating, as was her partner, Jaime Diaz. And was there ever a Dew Drop who lived up so greatly to her name as Misa Kuranaga? Backed by a corps de ballet of lanky, tall flowers, the slight Kuranaga seemed to float among them like a drop of mist. Not every performance was as stunning, however.
