Nanotechnology is a new discipline of research that has many advances. Due to their properties, nanostructures are involved in revealing many pieces of evidence and cases. Nanostructures play an important part in forensic study and criminology. It is evident that gold and silver nanostructures are greatly used in fingerprint detection. However different nano techniques are employed to detect trace materials from the crime scene. Fragmentation of DNA, amplification, and cooperation are taken place by using nanoparticles with the help of the PCR technique. Nanostructures can act as sensors for a variety of chemical and biological components, including explosives, according to contemporary studies on nanomaterial research and development. Nano-gold (Au-NPs), nano-silver, and nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles along with capillary electrophoresis, SEM, TEM, and FTIR are used in forensic toxicology. Inculcation of nanostructures in saliva and nerve agent detection is also observed. In the realm of forensic science, nanotechnology is projected to play a significant role in the future by bringing more specialized and sensitive methods of case detection and revelation, as well as flawless evidence. In this review article, all the aspects where nanostructures are applied in forensic sciences are studied in detail.

“…The Iron Age, in fact, prolonged until the 20 th century and taken innovative adjustments, now no longer most effective with inside the residing requirements of the human society, however additionally with inside the development of struggle generation. The technology of bows, arrows, gadas (stone or steel-hooked up timber logs) and so on, gradually replaced through swords to spears and to axes, etc [2]. By the end of the 16 th century, our understanding of creating explosives caused the generation of small firearms and artillery weapons due to assault and siege guns.…”

“…Nanotechnology has the potential to improve warfare for individual soldiers by enhancing their capabilities. Military organizations around the world might choose to implant or inject their soldiers with small, self-replicating machines in order to gain a variety of benefits [2][3][4]. The potential of having these nanomachines in soldiers' bodies would be the implementation of a system that monitors and records every soldier engaged in combat in real-time.…”

Nanotechnology, an indispensable branch of technology is presently being used in many specific technologically advanced domains. Technology can offer possibilities far beyond previously known limits, which means a debate between hope and anonymity. The potential of nanotechnology to harvest its strategic advantages or cause a disaster depends on a nation’s level of preparedness. The integration of nano-materials and nanodevices into the defence systems is aimed at improving their performance in terms of defensive and/or offensive capabilities, individual safety, and reliability of systems/ subsystems. Major military powers around the world have been working diligently to improve their understanding of this emerging technology area. The earliest developments in this area involved the production of organic explosives in the form of fine powders with a particle distribution from the submicron to nano-meter range. The challenge ahead is to move from powder to integration of energy nanomaterials into the production system. According to the published literature, the subject studies are in the early stage on this specific domain, wherein numerous techniques are recently reported for making products from nano-thermites. This chapter is aimed to discusses various means and ways to protect the population from attack and to prevent industrial accidents, disaster management and also the potential applications of nanotechnology in warfare.
