Test sample preparation of (a) ZPD doped fingerprint and (b) fresh fingerprint: (1) wash and dry hands, put on nitrile gloves, wear for 1 h, turn inside-out and put back on; (2) gently touch ZPD ...

A pioneering new test that can recover fingerprints from ammunition casing, once thought nearly impossible, has been developed by two Irish scientists. Dr. Eithne Dempsey, and her recent Ph.D. student ...

Researchers at Maynooth University have achieved a forensic milestone by revealing fingerprints on fired bullet casings using a safe electrochemical process. The method uses mild voltage and non-toxic ...

Forensic scientists have long regarded fingerprints on fired bullet casings as a lost cause. The extreme heat and pressure inside a gun barrel typically destroy the delicate residues that powders and ...

Overlapping and weak fingerprints pose challenges in criminal cases. A new study offers a solution and brings hope for using chemical residues in fingerprints for personal profiling. A groundbreaking ...

Partha Banerjee’s Holography and Metamaterials (HaM) Lab has used Digital Holography for many applications funded by DARPA, Air Force and Army. The current joint work on fingermarks is supported by a ...

A hot potato: A team of researchers from Columbia University have used a custom AI model to test if fingerprints are really as unique as forensic and crime literature suggest. The results are ...

And in the private sector, many in the business of providing DNA fingerprinting services and supplying reagents for DNA testing see the NRC imprimatur as an economic boon to an already growing ...

A red fingerprint in the middle of a face-shaped pebble suggests Neanderthals may have been able to create symbolic art. - Álvarez-Alonso, D., de Andrés-Herrero, M., Díez-Herrero, A. et al./Springer ...
