Biometric Updates

Fingerprint test can distinguish between those who have taken or handled heroin November, 2019
A state-of-the-art fingerprint detection technology can identify traces of heroin on human skin, even after someone has washed their hands -- and it is also smart enough to tell whether an individual has used the drug or shaken hands with someone who has handled it.
Quantum chip 1,000 times smaller than current setups October, 2019
Researchers have developed a quantum communication chip that is 1,000 times smaller than current quantum setups, but offers the same superior security quantum technology is known for.
Airborne chemicals instantly identified using new technology October, 2019
Scientists have developed a device that can identify a wide range of airborne gases and chemicals instantly.
Unlock your smartphone with earbuds September, 2019
A research team is developing EarEcho, a biometric tool that uses modified wireless earbuds to authenticate smartphone users via the unique geometry of their ear canal. A prototype of the system proved roughly 95% effective.
Nanowires replace Newton's famous glass prism September, 2019
Scientists have designed an ultra-miniaturized device that could directly image single cells without the need for a microscope or make chemical fingerprint analysis possible from a smartphone.
Optofluidic chip with nanopore 'smart gate' developed for single molecule analysis August, 2019
A new chip-based platform integrates nanopores and optofluidic technology with a feedback-control circuit to enable an unprecedented level of control over individual molecules and particles on a chip for high-throughput analysis.
New test to snare those lying about a person's identity August, 2019
A new test could help police to determine when criminals or witnesses are lying about their knowledge of a person's identity.
Simple 'smart' glass reveals the future of artificial vision July, 2019
Engineers have devised a method to create pieces of 'smart' glass that can recognize images without requiring any sensors or circuits or power sources.
Tiny light-up barcodes identify molecules by their twinkling April, 2019
An imaging technique could make it possible to peer inside cells and watch dozens of different molecules at once -- by labeling them with short strands of light-up DNA that blink on and off with their own unique rhythm. Though they're all the same color, the technique makes it possible to distinguish as many as […]
Pin-sized sensor could bring chemical ID to smartphone-sized devices April, 2019
Engineers have developed a spectrometer so small and simple that it could integrate with the camera of a typical cellphone without sacrificing accuracy.
