    Maynooth Researchers Reveal Method to Recover Fingerprints from Fired Bullet Casings

    Overview: A New Fingerprint Recovery Technique for Brass Casings Researchers at Maynooth University have developed an electrochemical method that can visualize fingerprint ridges on brass bullet casings after they are fired. This breakthrough challenges the long-held assumption that the intense heat and gas released during firing obliterate biological traces, such as fingerprints, on ammunition. Led…
