Binary Code Successfully Recorded on Synthetic Polymer

Researchers have for the first time succeeded in recording a binary code on a synthetic polymer. Inspired by the capacity of DNA to retain an enormous amount of genetic information, a team from the Institut Charles Sadron de Strasbourg (CNRS) and the Institut de chimie radicalaire (CNRS/Aix Marseille Université) synthesized and read a multi-bit message on an artificial polymer. The results were published in Nature Communications on May 26, 2015.

Unique Gold Nano Spirals Could Help Prevent Identity Theft

The world's smallest continuous spirals have been created at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. The spirals react in a unique way to polarized infrared light, which makes them very hard to counterfeit - this property could be used to prevent counterfeiting of currency, credit cards, or ID cards.
