Archilys Corp. is a Kyoto-based nanotech startup behind Gold Nano-Tag, an invisible layer of gold nanoparticles that can be applied to almost any surface to prove an item is authentic. Unlike RFID chips or holograms, it can't be seen, removed or copied, and it's cheap enough to apply to high-volume goods such as apparel, collectables, and luxury items. Archilys is looking for European partners to bring the technology to brands fighting counterfeiting.
