Essential Oils aren't just for medicine

Wow! This article in Australian magazine Electronics News is amazing!

It talks about how researchers in the electronics field are experimenting with using essential oils to make upcoming consumer products like "roll out screens" for e-readers using essential oils as an "essential" component. Who'd have thought it?

One thing that's disturbing about it is that the oil that seems to work best so far is Tea Tree oil which can only be sourced from Australia, as so far as I know the tree concerned won't grow anywhere else. Supplies are already a bit limited, and if they start using it on products that are sold to millions of people, this can only get worse.

Let's hope they find another essential oil that is more easily sustainable.
