Double column news article from a newspaper, describing how a team at St Andrews University has produced 200-nanometre thick flexible membranes that produce laser beams when light is shone upon them, one potential application being a wearable barcode to be read by an iris scanner. It also references a laboratory experiment in which light was shone onto a contact lens over a cow's eye and this projected an image on to a screen 50cm away. Includes a somewhat disconnected image of an index finger supporting a contact lens.
