Researchers Develop Special Fluorescent Ink to Reveal Counterfeit Products
One day soon, the simple act of taking a photo with your smartphone could help fight crime, and prevent you from getting ripped off in the process. With just one snap, you could instantly know whether or not someone is trying to sell you a fake. How is this possible? Northwestern University scientists have invented new advanced fluorescent inks – revealed through a phone’s ultraviolet light – that serve as the product barcodes of the future.
Counterfeiting is a mega big business that totals up to 650 billion dollars in global losses every year, according to the International Chamber of Commerce.
