Glowing Monkeys and the Next Logical Step
So monkeys officially glow now and of course the next logical question is where do we go from here? One possibility is to cure diseases and know ourselves more fully and, of course, the other is to complete the work

Fingerprints
As your finger rubs over the surface of something, vibrations (corresponding to texture) are generated and sensed within your skin by Pacinian Corpuscles. These specialized nerve endings in the subcutaneous layers are equipped to receive information about pressure and frequency.
