The very next day, a classmate was not so fortunate as I was and ended up with 2 dozen stitches across his hand. Here is profile of Eurekazon that core77 did recently….I hope many of the schools decide to add this to their model-shops.

The iridescence of butterfly wings have been the source of inspiration for more energy efficient yet vivid displays, but their shine is proving useful for brightening up not just our gadgets, but the money we buy them with as well. Researchers are looking in to how biomimicry can foil the efforts of would-be forgers, using the radiant colors created by light rather than pigment. The Indonesian Peacock or Swallowtail butterfly is the subject of interest to scientists at the University of Cambridge, who are using nanofabrication processes to replicate the reflective structures onto money, making them much more difficult to counterfeit.
