    Carina Dennis, Nature's Australian reporter reveals what may well be a ground-breaking innovation for stress and tension relief - the human kind not those encountered in material science and civil engineering.

    "[A] luxury lounge bathed in soft, calming bioluminescence will soothe your worries away." Sydney-based microbiologist Kathy Takayama a Sydney microbiologist together with designer John Nicholson,  are showing their concept couch  at the Canberra Contemporary Art Space. Dennis reports, " The exhibit is part of Metis, the Australian festival of art meets science, and runs until 18 June." The degree of possible interest shown by psychoanalysts is not known.
