Identifying Wood Species from Chemical Signature
Quickly identifies wood species, both in the form of a log or as a product made from wood.
Background:
Currently, there are very strict national and international laws governing the buying and selling of wood and wood-based products. These laws are designed to curtail illegal trade in endangered tree species. However, it can be exceedingly difficult...

Determining the Donor Age Based on Raman Spectroscopy of a Bloodstain
Novel methodology helps forensic investigators determine victim's age from bloodstains.
Background:
In the absence of a body at a crime scene, forensic investigators must rely on whatever biological material is left behind to determine the sex, race, and age of perpetrators and victims. That often means analyzing stains like blood, sweat, and...
