Abstract

Nano forensics is the advanced application of nanotechnology-based techniques to resolve cases in forensic science. Forensic science offers scientific methods in a criminal investigation. Nano-forensics deals with the development of new approaches for fingerprint visualization, DNA isolation, forensic toxicology, explosive detection, identification of body fluids, gunshot residue analysis, detection of illicit drugs, etc. The nanomaterials used in forensic science are nanocrystals, nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanobelts, nanocomposites, nanoclusters, nanotubes, nanorods, etc. The scope of nanotechnology is very wide.
