New 'Nanotechnology' May Streamline Check Out

Abstract:
The millions of carbon nanotubes in the ink can be printed onto packages and products. They then transmit radio frequencies with information about the products, like the price and description.

"Instead of a bar code you would have an 'RFID' (Radio Frequency Identification) tag and that 'RFID' tag would immediately give out information," Tour continued. "So if you are going out the check out line you don't have to hold this up to a little scanner."
