A pioneering new test that can recover fingerprints from ammunition casing, once thought nearly impossible, has been developed by two Irish scientists. Dr. Eithne Dempsey, and her recent Ph.D. student ...

Researchers at Maynooth University have achieved a forensic milestone by revealing fingerprints on fired bullet casings using a safe electrochemical process. The method uses mild voltage and non-toxic ...

Researchers have unveiled a method capable of detecting drug substances from fingerprints lifted from crime scenes, which could provide fresh insights into unsolved cases. The research is published in ...

Forensic fingerprint analysis has been based on the unique pattern of ridges on every finger for over a hundred years. A recent artificial intelligence system does not call this into question; instead ...

Engineers have built a new AI that shatters a long-held belief in forensics -- that fingerprints from different fingers of the same person are unique. It turns out they are similar, only we've been ...

When you use your fingerprint to unlock your smartphone, your phone is looking at a two-dimensional pattern to determine whether it's the correct fingerprint before it unlocks for you. But the imprint ...

A hot potato: A team of researchers from Columbia University have used a custom AI model to test if fingerprints are really as unique as forensic and crime literature suggest. The results are ...

A technique for determining whether a fingerprint appeared on a piece of paper before or after text was printed on it could help resolve fraud cases. The approach uses standard forensic tools and so ...

Forensic science has long held that fingerprints are singular identifiers, unique to each finger and each individual. This assumption has formed the backbone of global law enforcement, identity ...
