Kindergarteners are going to have to come up with a new term for Big letter A and little letter a. Well, at least for the little letters anyway. Either that or the team of this new product is going to have to stick with the microscopic. Or, we could just confuse these poor little 5 year old souls all together and teach them about Big letter A, little letter a, and of course the microscopic letter. What the heck? Yes, that's right. It seems the researchers at UCLA have literally nothing else to do when it comes to saving the world, creating global harmony and peace, or curing rare diseases. Last I checked, the world needed a cure for the common cold, or let's shoot high and say AIDS even, but we don't necessarily need a small bowl of "invisible to the naked eye" alphabet soup. What is this product you say? I just told you, it's a bowl of alphabet soup that is so small that it is, you got it, microscopic.

Oh, you want to know what it's used for?! Funny that. For starters, it seems these little letters are uniform in size. And --- ? That's right, that's their feature. The research team is hoping these little letters will be used as cell markers given these letters are smaller than cells themselves. I do get that, but what is wrong with the markers science is already using? Specific dyes are excellent, and probably much cheaper than a box of microscopic alphabet soup. UCLA has even applied for a patent for this product, because God forbid, someone else may try and steal the same useless and impractical idea.
