The Nanotechnology: An applied and extensive approach in solving crimes

Dr. Syeda Mona Hassan, Dr. Aftab Ahmad Malik

Abstract

Nanotechnology has great influence on modern technology. In order to identify, individualize, and
assess evidence, forensic science applies knowledge and methods. Then, with the aid of evidence,
crime scenes will be rebuilt, investigations will be directed, and offenders will be prosecuted.
Nano-analysis is one of modern technology that is most frequently used in forensic science. The
characterization can be done by using tools like the atomic force microscope (AFM), aman micro
spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM)
(Micro-Raman). Nanotechnologies might be essential in current forensic investigation issues like
forensic toxicological analysis, explosive detection, detection of explosive residue, finger print
analysis, forensic DNA analysis, forensic nano trackers, and drug-facilitated crime.
