Chemistry World April 1, 2011 Hayley Birch	Nanoparticles help reveal hidden fingerprints A technique using gold nanoparticles in combination with antibodies has shown promising results for enhancing fingerprints that are over a week old.
Chemistry World June 6, 2008 Lewis Brindley	Fingerprints Recovered From Wiped Metal Forensic scientists can now find fingerprints on metal surfaces that have been wiped clean. Scientists have developed a way of enhancing the patterns that fingerprint residues corrode in metal surfaces.
Chemistry World May 17, 2012 Rebecca Brodie	Enhancing Fingerprints with Electrochromism Scientists have developed a method to enhance latent fingerprints on metal surfaces using electrochromism, a process that causes a color change when a charge is applied.
Chemistry World May 21, 2007 Simon Hadlington	New Technique to Finger Suspects Researchers have shown that it is possible to detect trace quantities of drug metabolites in fingerprints. The finding could allow forensic scientists not only to obtain information about a suspect's identity from the print, but also to elicit 'lifestyle intelligence' on the individual.
Chemistry World May 14, 2014 Tim Wogan	Fingertip sweat pore maps to catch criminals The technique uses a water-sensitive polymer to detect the unique pattern of sweat pores on fingertips and may one day help the police to identify fingerprints left on surfaces that are impossible to scrutinize with current techniques.
Chemistry World April 5, 2012 Heather Montgomery	Shining a light on fingerprint detection Scientists in China have discovered a method for visualizing latent fingerprints found at the scene of a crime, which they say is very simple, rapid, does not require professional forensic treatment and does not destroy the print.
Chemistry World July 25, 2007 Simon Hadlington	Lift-Off for Fingerprint Analysis UK researchers have demonstrated a new non-destructive method to collect and chemically interrogate fingerprints left at the scene of a crime.
Chemistry World October 26, 2012 Rachel Cooper	Determining sex from a fingerprint Peptides naturally present in sweat are distinctive for one sex or the other. The ability to determine the sex of an individual from fingermarks left at crime scenes advances our current understanding of the limits of the forensic usefulness of fingermarks.
Chemistry World May 19, 2015 Simon Neil	Cocaine users sweat over fingerprint analysis Scientists in the UK and the Netherlands have revealed a rapid, single-fingerprint test for cocaine use.
Chemistry World November 22, 2012 Elinor Hughes	Fingerprints on demand An on-demand system to print artificial fingerprints has been developed by US scientists. The fingerprints could be used to ensure that detection equipment for explosives and narcotics, such as those used in airports and federal prisons, are working as expected.
