Scientist turning people into chameleons
![]()

A scientist in Spain is working on what you might call "talon technology" that's thin enough to be fitted atop a real nail. If the wearer wants to go from summery silver to a more cold-weathery ruby red, she can just flip a switch rather than litter the bathroom with stained cotton balls and the stench of nail polish remover. If she sees a cool hue at the store, a little camera can take a snapshot and reproduce the color for the nails.
