A nanotechnology breakthrough revolutionizes laser printing technology enabling the printing of high-resolution data and colour images of high quality and microscopic dimensions. DTU researchers have managed to reproduce a colour image of Mona Lisa which is less than one pixel.
Professor Anders Kristensen "It will be possible to save data invisible to the naked eye. This includes serial numbers or bar codes of products and other information. The technology can also be used to combat fraud and forgery, as the products will be labelled in way that makes them very difficult to reproduce." An article about the research is published in Nature Nanotechnology (News Item DTU, 14 December 2015).
