Introduction to Nanotechnology and Its Applications in Forensic Investigation and Analysis

Nanotechnology is the growing field of scientific research and technology. Nanotechnology has vast applications specially in the field of forensic science. It helps in diagnosing and examining samples at the nano scale level that was earlier difficult due to detection limits of instruments. Nanotechnology has already shown immense potential in many fields of research like medicine, molecular biology, genetics, material science and it also has a promising potential even in the fields of forensic science. This area of research has its own significant interest as the advances in the field of nanotechnology are being incorporated in the field of forensic science. For revealing the secrets of forensic science, nanotechnology is being used quite extensively. In forensic nanotechnology minute chip materials are used instead of bulky instruments which reduces the steps of methods of analysis to make investigation purpose accurate, precise and less time consuming.. An important advantage of using nanotechnology in the field of forensic science is that it reveals the hidden evidences, which can prove to be helpful for the forensic scientists to give an outcome to their investigation. This review aims to discuss role of nanotechnology in forensic analysis and detection of crime scene.
