Forensic Breakthrough Extracts Fingerprints from Bullet Casings

Originally Published 2 months ago — by ScienceAlert

Researchers at Maynooth University have developed a new technique to recover high-detail fingerprints from heated bullet casings, potentially revolutionizing forensic investigations by allowing identification of shooters from evidence previously thought impossible to analyze. The method involves chemical reactions and electrical stimulation to reveal residues that survive the firing process, although further testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness on actual fired bullets.
