The likelihood of two human fingerprints being identical is extremely low—about 1 in 640 billion. Even identical twins, ...

Now what? Apparently, there are three types of fingerprint patterns: arch, loop, and whorl. The arch is just what it sounds like and starts on one side of the finger and goes to the other.

Slight differences in gene expression prevent this recruitment step from happening in fingerprints. Those same differences in gene expression also seem to set up a Turing pattern, named for the ...

Scientists have developed a new type of electronic skin that mimics the uniqueness of human fingerprints—except it’s even ...

This figure shows human fingerprint patterns are grouped into three types: arch, whorl and loop. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...

Flexible electronic skin with random, fingerprint-like patterns so unique, the odds of duplication are practically zero, this ...

Although the current EMF experiment covered only a small fraction of the potential molecular fingerprinting spectral region, ...

In this proof-of-concept study, blood plasma from more than 2,000 people was analyzed to link molecular patterns to lung cancer, extrapolating a potential “cancer fingerprint.” Plasma is the liquid ...
