Lee and collaborators published in Analytical Chemistry
Police have long relied on the unique whorls, loops or arches encoded in fingerprints to identify suspects. However, they have no way to tell how long ago those prints were left behind — information that could be crucial to a case. A preliminary new study in ACS’ Analytical Chemistry suggests that could change. Researchers report … Continue reading Lee and collaborators published in Analytical Chemistry
