Background:

  • Counterfeiting poses a significant economic and safety risk across various industries.
  • Existing anticounterfeiting measures often lack miniaturization, security, or cost-efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, secure, and user-friendly ultraminiaturized anticounterfeiting labeling technique.
  • To create a physically unclonable nanotag with high color diversity and readability.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of subwavelength spots using random combinations of multicolor quantum dots.
  • Development of a cost-efficient printing method for nanotag production.
  • Characterization of nanotag color properties, security features, and data encoding capabilities.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a color-encoded physical unclonable nanotag with over 170,000 distinct colors.
  • Achieved inherent resistance to cloning due to the random quantum dot combinations.
  • Enabled incorporation of encrypted labels (e.g., QR codes) at resolutions exceeding 100,000 DPI.

Conclusions:

  • The color-encoded nanotag offers a potent and versatile solution for next-generation anticounterfeiting.
  • The technique combines compactness, flexibility, and robust security for diverse applications.
  • Quantum dot-based nanotags provide a bright, color-pure, and easily readable anticounterfeiting solution.
