The company created the false fingerprint by pushing Play-Doh into the cast of a finger made in dental paste.
The duplicate fingerprint is then placed on the sensor, which the Standard saw fool the scanning security feature to unlock an iPhone 6.
Smartphone sensors currently scan information at 500 pixels per inch, but the company has developed one that works at four times the resolution.
