Scientists Tattoo Tardigrades to Pioneer Living Microdevices for Future Biotechnology

Jan Otte

In a bizarre but groundbreaking test, scientists have been able to “tattoo” tardigrades miniature, indestructible creatures also known as water bears with an advanced microfabrication technique. This strange achievement is not in the name of novelty: it can potentially lead to living biosensors, microbial cyborgs, and even medical implants that become fully compatible with biological ...
