World's smallest QR code can store data for thousands of years — but you need an electron microscope to see it
Scientists created a tiny matrix that stores data by etching its grid into a thin ceramic film with a focused ion beam.
For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.
Tiny details: QR codes are designed to efficiently and securely store digital data in a compact, two-dimensional form. Researchers at TU Wien took this principle further – delving into the microscopic ...
Just how small can a QR code be? Small enough that it can only be recognized with an electron microscope. A research team at TU Wien, working together with the data storage technology company Cerabyte ...
On December 3, the team secured a Guinness World Record for the world’s smallest QR code. Spanning just around 2 sq. micrometres, the code is about one-third the size of the previous record holder and ...
