• ITMO Researchers Suggest Model to Predict Parameters of Laser Metal Transfer Onto Glass

  Scientists from ITMO University have developed a physical and mathematical model to predict the parameters of laser metal ablation onto a transparent substrate. Apart from providing a detailed model of the physical process, the new tool can predict its key parameters with a 90% accuracy. This opens up possibilities for the controlled creation of metallic coatings with micron-level resolution on glass, such as indelible protective marks and decorative elements. The results of this Russian Science Foundation-supported study were published in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.

• Unclonable Anti-Counterfeiting Tags Based on Optical Properties of Gold and Silicon Created at ITMO

  Scientists at ITMO have come up with a new way to protect microelectronics devices from counterfeit. The new technology is based on gold and silicon nanoparticles with unique optical properties that make it possible to create unclonable functions with a record information density. Such functions can also be used for generating cryptographic keys. The results of the study were described in Nature Communications.

• No More Counterfeiting – Thanks to Photon Crystals from ITMO

  Scientists from ITMO University have suggested a novel production method for anti-forgery protection tags that is cheaper and quicker than its analogs. The new method uses magnet-sensitive photon crystals for ink jet printing. The resulting tags are liquid systems with magnetic particles inside a solid shell; in response to a magnet, the particles assemble into a specific colored pattern. According to its authors, the new method will be more reliable than its counterparts. The study is described in a paper published in Advanced Optical Materials.

• ITMO Physicists Create Unclonable Anti-Counterfeiting Silicon Labels

  Scientists from ITMO University developed unclonable anti-counterfeiting labels, which are based on silicon nanoparticles modified with a laser. It’s impossible to change the color, structure, and location of the particles: these parameters are random, which makes the label safe from counterfeiting. In order to check if it’s authentic, all you need to do is upload its picture into a special program.
