Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s ...

A research team at TU Wien and Cerabyte just shrunk the QR code to an impossible scale. Their creation measures only 1.98 square micrometers. This makes the code smaller than most bacteria. It is so ...

Tiny details: QR codes are designed to efficiently and securely store digital data in a compact, two-dimensional form. Researchers at TU Wien took this principle further – delving into the microscopic ...

On December 3, the team secured a Guinness World Record for the world’s smallest QR code. Spanning just around 2 sq. micrometres, the code is about one-third the size of the previous record holder and ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

Researchers at TU Wien and Cerabyte created the world’s smallest QR code, measuring just 1.98 square micrometers. The record has been officially verified by Guinness World Records, making it 37% ...

QR codes. For many of us, they’re synonymous with a) the pandemic, b) the ongoing lack of actual menus in bars and restaurants, and c) the fact that the world is now just that little bit more tiresome ...
