forensics News
Photonics Offers Clues to the Future of Forensics
Dec 22, 2021 — Spectroscopy and other photonics technologies have long been of interest in criminal forensics — the use of analytical tools and tests to reveal unseen clues during a criminal investigation. Unlike some methods of chemical testing, photonics draws conclusive data from extremely small or diluted samples, and it often does so nondestructively, unlike chemical testing. Today, academic researchers and product developers alike continue to push the performance envelope of light-based methods,...
User-Friendly Crime Scene Forensics for Snow and Soil
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 1, 2016 — Researchers are working on a new type of portable crime scene forensics technology that is capable of taking precise high-resolution 3D images of shoeprints and tire tread marks in snow and soil. With help from a $788,167, two-year grant from the...
