New mobile phone ‘will replace credit cards’
obile phones could soon replace credit M cards for store payments following the launch of a range of handsets. South Korea’s three telecom giants, ma- jor credit card companies and several banks have been testing new technology that will enable users to pay for everything from food to petrol with a mobile. A senior infotech manager said: “We are conditioned to think that a credit card is a plastic rectangle. But it is actually the data on the strip at the back, and data can be stored anywhere.” In- stead of handing over credit or debit cards for swiping, users type their passcode on the phone keypad, point the device at a special receiver on a checkout counter and press a key.The phone sends the card data in an infrared beam or radio waves. No signature is necessary. For small payments at vending machines, the passcode is not even required. Transmissions are encrypted and secure, and subscribers who lose their phones can get them disabled within seconds by informing the credit card company. The phone payment schemes are being trialled at Yokohama Na- tional University in Japan. A telecom manager envisages mobile phones that also contain club memberships, a driver’s licence, ID card, airline frequent flier card — essentially everything people carry in their wallets. “In the future you only will have to carry one handset,” he said. “It will be your window to the world.” Brain damage linked to teenage binge-drinking eenagers may be damaging T their bodies and brains by binge drinking, scientists have claimed. Experiments showed that adolescent rats exposed to high doses of alcohol suffer im- paired growth and altered brain function. Although the tests were done on animals, the US re- searchers say the results could be a warning to teenagers who drink to excess. A re- searcher, who led the study, said: “These findings suggest adolescence as a unique developmental period where exposure to high alcohol levels can produce changes in biological functions that might have long-lasting implications.” Binge drinking is defined as consuming five or more drinks in one session. It was simulated in rats using an alcohol consumption pattern known BREAKERS as chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) exposure. The animals were 30- day old when the study started, the rat equivalent of adolescence. CIE exposure was found to produce a high level of alcohol tolerance in the rats which in some cases lasted into adulthood. It also significantly PATH hampered normal growth, as measured by weight gain, and altered liv- er function. Brain function also appeared to be affected. Brazilian scientists say coffee perks up sperm en who start the day with a shot of caffeine have more vigorous sperm Mthan those who never drink coffee, according to researchers in Brazil. The findings suggest men with fertility problems could benefit from a cof- fee break and that caffeine-based stimulants could be used to im- prove sperm samples used in IVF procedures. A research team analysed the semen of 750 men who attended clinic for vasec- tomies. All the coffee drinkers tended to have stronger and more powerful sperm than those who did not. Euan Paul, of the Coffee Science Information Centre, said: “These findings are very exciting. “If sperm don’t swim well they tend to be more lethargic — they give up before they reach their goal. It seems caffeine makes them swim faster.” World’s first cloned baby ‘within months’ US fertility doctor says he will create the world’s first cloned baby with- A in months, according to reports. Dr Panayiotis Zavos, 49, aims at charging $100,000 per baby as an alternative to IVF. He has already created an ad- vanced human embryo cloned from the cells of a 46-year-old single woman. The embryo, which the scientist showed to the world in a TV broadcast in May,will be implanted in the womb of a surrogate mother. She will be paid a fee of around $20,000. Speaking at a fertility conference in Texas, he said: “My motivation is my desire to help people. If peo- ple want to have children and cannot in the normal way,and I can do something about it, I will do so.” Dr Zavos is carrying out the pioneering experi- ment in the Middle East as it is illegal to clone hu- mans in the US, Britain and the rest of Europe.
