Icy ink. This tardigrade is sporting what is perhaps the world’s tiniest ‘tattoo’, shown as highlighted dots in this microscope image. Researchers used a technique called ice lithography, harnessing an electron beam to etch the pattern into a layer of ice coating the tardigrade. The beam transforms the frozen substance into a compound that sticks to the tardigrade’s skin, leaving the design visible when the rest of the ice evaporates. The extremely high precision of this method means it could have applications in biomedical engineering, the scientists who developed it say. They are now working on tattooing even smaller organisms, including bacteria, in the same way.
