Local research yields technology which makes it harder to counterfeit currencies and credit cards

A research team led by Assistant Professor Qiu Cheng-Wei from NUS Dept of Electrical & Computer Engineering has developed a method that enhances the storing of vital data through the use of an 'ultra-capacity nano-photon sieve'. The technology can potentially prevent counterfeits in currencies, documents, credit cards and even forging of identity cards.
