Reviews “Inspired by a desire to solve the puzzles hiding in the details of fingerprints, the authors of this volume have used nanoparticle technology to overcome the constraints of traditional approaches. Readers will go through the complex realm of nanotechnology used in fingerprint creation [and] explore the manufacturing and use of nanoparticles, delving into their special qualities that allow them to precisely uncover latent fingerprints. . . . Not merely a collection of insights; [the book] is a catalyst for continued exploration and innovation in the symbiotic realms of nanotechnology and fingerprint analysis.” — From the Foreword by Kamlendra Awasthi, Secretary, Soft Materials Research Society (SMRS); Associate Professor (Physics), Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Conventional fingerprinting methods have long served as the cornerstone of criminal investigations, offering vital proof for person identification. Still, a scientific revolution has been sparked by the difficulties presented by diverse surfaces, environmental factors, and the sensitive character of latent impressions. The superiority of nanotechnology has been proven in a range of fields, including medicine, electronics, engineering, and others; it has also brought a new perspective of ideas in the field of forensic science.
