Bacteria on Graphene Oxide Credit: Izzat Suffi an, Kuo-Ching Mei, Houmam Kafa and Khuloud T Al-Jamal, King’s College London. Two bacteria sitting on an extremely thin sheet of carbon. This material is one of the thinnest, strongest materials so far discovered. Researchers are trying to stick different medicines to it so they can be carried to the right place in the body when needed. The bacteria are about 2 micrometres (0.002 mm) long.

Black Henna Allergy Credit: Nicola Kelley, Cardiff and Vale University Hospital NHS Trust. A black henna tattoo on the arm of a young girl. Henna is a dye that people use to draw on their skin, but it disappears over time. This girl has blisters on her arm because she is allergic to the dye. The blisters will heal but they may leave marks on her skin.
