I read somewhere about the Four undergraduate students that produced a nail polish that can reveal the presence of “date rape drugs” such as Rohypnol and GHB by changing color in their presence. You need to read this:
The concept was created by students Tyler Confrey-Maloney, Stephen Gray, Ankesh Madan, and Tasso Von Windheim, from the Materials Science and Engineering Department at North Carolina State University.
“With our nail polish, any woman will be empowered to discreetly ensure her safety by simply stirring her drink with her finger,”
Undercover Colors' will enable a woman to "discreetly ensure her safety" by stirring her drink with her finger.
If the polish changes colour, the person will know "that something is wrong", the company explained.
"While date rape drugs are often used to facilitate sexual assault, very little science exists for their detection," it said on its site page.
"Our goal is to invent technologies that empower women to protect themselves from this heinous and quietly pervasive crime."
The students said all of them had been close to someone who had been sexually assaulted and they wanted to create a preventative measure to help protect women.
The students said they hoped the nail polish would deter potential perpetrators because of the fear they could get caught.
