Biometric Updates

New method for fingerprint analysis holds great promise September, 2024
Overlapping and weak fingerprints pose challenges in criminal cases. A new study offers a solution and brings hope for using chemical residues in fingerprints for personal profiling.
How to catch a criminal using their 'skin shedder' profile August, 2024
A pioneering new DNA forensics technique is looking for a reliable method to measure a suspect's individual level of natural shedding of skin and other cells to add to, and compare with, evidence collected at crime scenes. Using a novel technique of cell staining, forensic science experts have tested 100 people to confirm how people […]
Scientists develop new artificial intelligence method to create material 'fingerprints' July, 2024
Researchers have developed a new technique that pairs artificial intelligence and X-ray science.
VR may pose privacy risks for kids: A new study finds parents aren't as worried as they should be May, 2024
New research finds that, while an increasing number of minors are using virtual reality (VR) apps, not many parents recognize the extent of the security and privacy risks that are specific to VR technologies. The study also found that few parents are taking active steps to address those security and privacy issues, such as using […]
New simpler and cost-effective forensics test helps identify touch DNA March, 2024
Research has found a less expensive and easier to use test to learn more about forensic touch DNA. This research has important implications for forensic investigations and being able to identify DNA from a primary contact -- someone who may have committed the crime -- as well as secondary DNA that was inadvertently and indirectly […]
This tiny, tamper-proof ID tag can authenticate almost anything February, 2024
A cryptographic tag uses terahertz waves to authenticate items by recognizing the unique pattern of microscopic metal particles that are mixed into the glue that sticks the tag to the item's surface.
A sleeker facial recognition technology tested on Michelangelo's David February, 2024
Many people are familiar with facial recognition systems that unlock smartphones and game systems or allow access to our bank accounts online. But the current technology can require boxy projectors and lenses. Now, researchers report on a sleeker 3D surface imaging system with flatter, simplified optics. In proof-of-concept demonstrations, the new system recognized the face […]
AI discovers that not every fingerprint is unique January, 2024
Engineers have built a new AI that shatters a long-held belief in forensics -- that fingerprints from different fingers of the same person are unique. It turns out they are similar, only we've been comparing fingerprints the wrong way!
Monitoring nuclear weapons stockpiles with radio waves October, 2023
Monitoring whether states are complying with disarmament treaties is not an easy task. An international team has been exploring remote monitoring with the help of two antennas and a couple of mirrors.
Cat-ching criminals with DNA from pet hairs October, 2023
Cat hair could be the purr-fect way to catch criminals, according to researchers.
