NIST wants comments on proposed 'hash' competition
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is planning a competition to develop one or more cryptographic "hash" algorithms to augment and revise the current Secure Hash Standard (Federal Information Processing Standard 180-2).   view more (2007-02-02)

New test to stop illegally logged timber
SMUGGLERS and burglars could now be trapped by something as innocuous as a wood shaving. Forensic scientists have found a way to DNA fingerprint wood, and their discovery could help track illegally logged timber or place a suspect at a crime scene.          Forensic botany is increasingly helping to solve... view more...

Fingerprint recognition gets true `Fingerspitzengefühl`
Will we pay using our fingerprint, or enter a building just touching a sensor? Does our mobile phone recognize our fingerprint? It is possible, as far as Dutch PhD student Asker Bazen is concerned. He has improved the verification techniques, resulting in a better result even for deformed and damaged prints. Together with a higher speed, the new... view more... (2002-09-02)

New microchip design could be the key to expanding mobile phone memory
Mobile phones could one day have the memory capacity of a desktop computer thanks to a microchip that mimics the functioning of the brain, scientists report today (9 September) in the journal Science.   view more (2005-09-09)

New fingerprint breakthrough by forensic scientists
Forensic scientists at the University of Leicester, working with Northamptonshire Police, have announced a major breakthrough in crime detection which could lead to hundreds of cold cases being reopened.   view more (2008-06-03)

New microchip technology performs 1,000 chemical reactions at once
Flasks, beakers and hot plates may soon be a thing of the past in chemistry labs. Instead of handling a few experiments on a bench top, scientists may simply pop a microchip into a computer and instantly run thousands of chemical reactions, with results - literally shrinking the lab down to the size of a thumbnail.   view more (2009-08-04)
