Citizens Free Press headline: "Teleportation Website Suddenly Vanishes"

For 25 years, a Moscow State University institute researched teleportation. Then the media took notice — and its website vanished.

An obscure group studying teleportation and time travel operated for decades out of Moscow State University (MSU) — until a media report prompted its sudden disappearance from the web.

For more than 25 years, Russia’s prestigious Moscow State University has hosted a group calling itself the “Institute for the Study of the Nature of Time,” which claimed to research teleportation. After journalists from the Russian-language broadcaster RTVI recently reported on its existence, however, the institute’s website stopped loading.

For years, the group reportedly held pseudo-scientific seminars in MSU lecture halls on topics like time machines, teleportation, and ways to access information about the future.

According to its mission statement, the institute aimed to “understand the nature of the world’s variability and develop adequate methods to measure that variability,” as well as to create “conditions for uniting researchers of time.”

The institute had its own page on an MSU subdomain, which listed its address as the Biophysics Department within the university’s School of Biology.

Mikhail Kirpichnikov, the School of Biology’s dean, told RTVI that no such organization is officially affiliated with the university, though he said “some structure calling itself that” does exist.

Soon after RTVI contacted MSU’s press office, the institute’s website went offline.

Graphene Oxide in Tattoo Ink: A Review of Potential Risks

Tattoos have become a popular form of self-expression, but the safety of the inks used remains a topic of ongoing discussion. One area of concern is the potential presence of graphene oxide (GO) in some tattoo inks. This article will explore what graphene oxide is, why it might be used in tattoo ink, and, most importantly, the potential health risks associated with its presence.

What is Graphene Oxide?

Graphene oxide is a derivative of graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb-like structure. Graphene itself has remarkable properties like high strength and conductivity. Graphene oxide is produced by oxidizing graphene, introducing oxygen-containing groups to its surface. This makes it easier to disperse in water and other solvents, which is important for incorporating it into various materials, including, potentially, tattoo ink.

Why Might Graphene Oxide Be Used in Tattoo Ink?

While the exact reasons for including graphene oxide in tattoo ink are not always clear, some potential explanations exist. It has been suggested that GO could be used to:

Enhance ink properties: GO might be used to improve the ink’s dispersion, flow, or color intensity. It could potentially affect how the ink interacts with the skin, leading to brighter or longer-lasting tattoos.

Act as a carrier: GO’s large surface area could potentially be used to carry other substances within the ink, such as pigments or other additives.

It’s important to emphasize that the use of graphene oxide in tattoo ink is not widespread, and its presence is often not disclosed on product labels. More research is needed to determine the actual prevalence of GO in different tattoo inks.

Potential Health Risks: What the Research Says

The potential risks associated with graphene oxide in tattoo ink are still being investigated, and more research is needed to draw definitive conclusions. However, some studies have raised concerns:

Cytotoxicity: Some in vitro (test tube) studies have shown that graphene oxide can be toxic to cells, potentially damaging or killing them. This raises concerns about the potential for skin irritation, inflammation, or other adverse reactions at the tattoo site.

Genotoxicity: There is also concern that graphene oxide could damage DNA, potentially leading to long-term health problems. More research is needed to assess the genotoxic potential of GO in the context of tattoo ink.

Inflammatory response: The introduction of any foreign material into the skin can trigger an inflammatory response. Graphene oxide, due to its unique properties, might elicit a stronger or more prolonged inflammatory reaction in some individuals.

Migration: There is a possibility that graphene oxide particles could migrate from the tattoo site to other parts of the body, potentially accumulating in organs and causing unforeseen health problems. More research is needed to investigate the migration and long-term effects of GO in the body.

What Does This Mean for Tattooed Individuals?

The current research on the toxicity of graphene oxide in tattoo ink is limited, and it’s difficult to assess the actual risk to individuals with tattoos. However, the potential risks identified in studies warrant further investigation.
