Yeah, I read about this two or three years ago. It seems like it's still a way off, but exciting nonetheless. I, too, would volunteer for that study.

Apparentley its only 2 years away (read other discussions and theres more on it there called "Nano Ink") The problem i got with it would be learning to trust it!!! That would take at least 6 months on its own, also ink fades over time would that be an issue? we shall have to wait and see!!!!
