London: Indian-origin physicists in Scotland have developed a simple laser test that they claim can help detect counterfeit Scotch whiskey from a sample no bigger than a teardrop. Three physicists at the University of St. Andrews have devised a laser test to detect counterfeit Scotch and single malt whiskies, raising the possibility of clamping down on the fake liquor industry in India and elsewhere. Using the power of light, we have adapted our technology to address a problem related to an industry which is a crucial part of Scottish culture and economy.” The research involves researchers placing a tiny amount of whiskey on a transparent plastic chip no bigger than a credit card.
