Many have holographic images, but they are relatively easy to tamper with. Now researchers at SABIC Innovative Plastics and GE Global Research have developed a new class of thermoplastic holographic materials that embed holograms within the plastic of cards, making them virtually impossible to copy or alter. http://www.physorg.com/news178869483.html Technology Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:00:01 EST news178869483 Optware Corp., the developer of Collinear Holographic* Data Storage System, announced today that it had achieved successfully world's first recording and play back of digital movies on a holographic recording disc with a reflective layer using Optware's revolutionary Collinear Holography. This is a major milestone for commercializing holographic data storage system.The recorded movies were played back in a series of meetings from July eight through 12 with Optware's six existing investors as well as eight enterprises both domestic and overseas including leading manufacturers of electronic and electric products for consumer, business and industrial use. Company names are not disclosed. http://www.physorg.com/news967.html Technology Fri, 27 Aug 2004 02:50:44 EST news967 Physicists at New York University have developed a technique to record three-dimensional movies of microscopic systems, such as biological molecules, through holographic video. The work, which is reported in Optics Express, has potential to improve medical diagnostics and drug discovery. http://www.physorg.com/news167309125.html Physics Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:45:55 EST news167309125 University of Arizona optical scientists have broken a technological barrier by making three-dimensional holographic displays that can be erased and rewritten in a matter of minutes. http://www.physorg.com/news121524295.html Physics Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:44:55 EST news121524295 Product piracy causes billions worth of damage worldwide.
