Potential burglars will have less chance of breaking into buildings through hi-tech security windows developed by researchers in Germany.rnThe team from the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany has developed a unique security system that enables window panes to detect movements with a special polymer coating.rnThe coating, developed at the Fraunhofer's Applied Polymer Research department in Potsdam-Golm, contains nanoparticles that convert light into fluorescent radiation.rnA UV lamp illuminates the window panes and generates fluorescent radiation in the coating. This radiation is channelled to the edges of the window where it is detected by sensors. Several of these sensors are installed on four sides of the window frame.
