This is so cool.
"the team has devised a chipless, paper-only version of a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. ... [the] design requires no other material than paper. The company simply uses a laser to mark a circuit onto its surface, with the laser settings tuned so as not to cut or burn the paper but to change its chemical composition to make it conductive."

I spent a while waiting for certain spaces at the Natural History Museum to become free of people so I could take cleaner, better photos, but when I scanned the negative of Hintze Hall I was fascinated by the individuals below the whale skeleton: the group wearing matching baseball caps, the three men studying a map, the girl posing on the steps.
It's a mistake to discount humans when we come to observe the natural world, especially as we hold so much influence over it.
