Nanotechnology and Taggant Technology in Forensic Science

Interpol review of the analysis and detection of explosives and explosives residues

“…Bhatt, P.V., et al also wrote about using nanotechnology as a means of tagging explosives as well as general advances in nanotechnology and a summation of the current trends [ 538 ].…”

pudu: A Python library for agnostic feature selection and explainability of Machine Learning spectroscopic problems

“…Spectroscopic techniques (e.g. Raman, photoluminescence, reflectance, transmittance, X-ray fluorescence) are an important and widely used resource in different fields of science, such as photovoltaics (Fonoll-Rubio et al, 2022) (Grau-Luque et al, 2021), cancer (Bellisola & Sorio, 2012), superconductors (Fischer et al, 2007), polymers (Easton et al, 2020), corrosion (Haruna et al, 2023), forensics (P. V. Bhatt & Rawtani, 2023), and environmental sciences (Estefany et al, 2023), to name just a few. This is due to the versatile, non-destructive and fast acquisition nature that provides a wide range of material properties, such as composition, morphology, molecular structure, optical and electronic properties.…”

Identification method for dental alloy type using a cosine similarity program: A preliminary investigation

“…If the composition and type of alloys used can be identified easily from a part of prostheses, then this would enable the identification of dental clinics and laboratories, helping to narrow down the data to be examined. In forensic science, microtrace analysis methods, such as DNA extraction 9) , fiber sampling 10) , taggant technology 11) , and sampling of micro evidence materials 12,13) , play a significant role in victim identification and criminal investigations.…”
