Security is a prime issue, which everyone in the consumer satisfaction division is trying to cater to. These fellows aren’t from the department to say, but they vision to keep you safe both in home and office. Having developed a coating which can be glued or sprayed onto window panels to turn them into sensitive detectors to spot any kind of suspicious activity around them, the scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research intend to beef up security venues beyond keyholes and spy cams.
The coating material is made in nanoparticles, which illuminate fluorescent courtesy the ultra-violet radiation. Falling on the window panel, the radiation is picked by the embedded sensor which on any suspected intrusion triggers an alarm to alert you. The sensors have size detection ability to make difference of a bird to flying object or humans, and can also make out how fast or in what direction the suspected object’s moving with help of multiple sensors. The scientists have worked out a working demonstration of the system, and so it doesn’t take much to think the new nanotech coating could be made available very shortly.
