Chemists create disappearing tattoos: Here's the science behind how they work
Chemists have developed a method to make temporary tattoos that can be made invisible and then revealed again. The process works by using special ink that reacts to light in different ways depending on its surroundings. This technology has potential future applications.
Why it's good news: Who value self-expression and flexibility, as it could allow people to easily change the visibility of their tattoos based on personal circumstances.
