Tiny Transistors Track Cash


These itty-bitty low power organic transistors can be placed on the surface of bank notes for security or tracking by transmitting information wirelessly to a scanner. A group of German and Japanese scientists manufacture these 250-nanometer-thick transistors using minute amounts of aluminum and gold and a special dry process. They work well on the rough surface of paper and need only three volts to operate.

These mistakes could wind up costing you money or attracting unwanted attention from the IRS.
