Titled "SMX is giving physical materials a digital identity," the article examines SMX's molecular marking technology and Digital Material Passport Platform (DMPP), which connect physical materials with digital information throughout their lifecycle.

The article describes the challenge of linking a physical material to the digital record associated with it, noting: "A digital record can describe a product, but how can a manufacturer know the physical material matches the information attached?"
