Nanoseed-based physically unclonable function for on-demand encryption.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A physically unclonable function (PUF) is a promising hardware-based cryptographic primitive to prevent confidential information leakage. However, conventional techniques, such as weak and strong PUFs, have limitations in overcoming the trade-off between security and storage volume. This study introduces nanoseed-based PUFs that overcome the drawbacks of conventional PUFs using optical and electrical randomness originated from nanoseeds and a unique on-demand cryptographic algorithm. Ideally mixed PbS quantum dots and Ag nanocrystals in the same medium are exploited as nanoseeds to simultaneously promote independent optical and electrical randomness. The number of secured keys that can be generated on-demand by combining the optical and electrical features in parallel using shuffling method is almost infinite (>10
