Emerging strategies in infohybrid systems

Abstract

We briefly address the recent challenges and strategies to "infohybrids" that combines hybrid science and information technology. The aspects of the infohybrid system will be discussed in terms of materials and devices used in the design and application of infohybrid systems. Furthermore, we will describe how we have innovatively approached the design and development of a systematic diagram of the infohybrid for its potential use in barcoded molecular sensing, steganographic nanoforensics, item-level tagging identification, data storage, and even communication. The combination of nano-biomaterial information technology provides logical infohybrid systems to channel identification and communication. The information is encoded inside hybrid components and is then decoded into symbols or an alphanumeric message between the sender and receiver within an interface network.
