- Nanodisks used to encrypt information
- PhysOrg.com reports that U.S. researchers have used nanotechnology tricks to develop nanodisks which could be useful to create codes to encrypt information. This method, which conceptually is similar to barcodes, could be used for DNA tagging or tracking goods and people. Even if this looks interesting, the best part is...
