According to reports, Radio frequency identification (RFID), an electronic-tagging technology, could be used to make jewellery more secure.
In February this year, scientists at Hitachi Research Labs in Japan developed the smallest and thinnest RFID chip in the world to date measuring 0.05 mm by 0.05 mm2 – smaller than a pepper flake or a grain of sand. In fact, the chips are so small that they can be mixed with paper pulp for making currency and passports, offering an added layer of protection.
