On July 3rd 2018, a team of researchers announced in the Journal Nature, that they have created a new addition to the smartphone fingerprint scanner. They are calling it a, "transparent and flexible sensor array with multiplexed detection of tactile pressure and skin temperature." The new technology comes from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology's Samsung Display - UNIST Center , in south Korea.
The new sensors are transparent, so they can easily be be place underneath a smartphone's screen. Unlike other finger print scanners, this new technology is capable of detecting the skin temperature of a user. This added feature allows the device to determine if the user is an actual human or some one using some type of tool that uses artificial finger prints to gain access. This will give mobile device users another layer of security.
