Abstract
Forensic chemistry literature has grown exponentially, with many analytical techniques being used to provide valuable information to help solve criminal cases. Among them, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS), particularly MALDI MS imaging (MALDI MSI), has shown much potential in forensic applications. Due to its high specificity, MALDI MSI can analyze a wide variety of compounds in complex samples without extensive sample preparation, providing chemical profiles and spatial distributions of given analyte(s). This review introduces MALDI MS(I) to forensic scientists with a focus on its basic principles and the applications of MALDI MS(I) to the analysis of fingerprints, drugs of abuse, and their metabolites in hair, medicine samples, animal tissues, and inks in documents.

Abstract
Forensic analysis can encompass a wide variety of analytes from biological samples including DNA, blood, serum, and fingerprints to synthetic samples like drugs and explosives. In order to analyze this variety, there are various sample preparation techniques, which can be time-consuming and require multiple analytical instruments. With recent advancements in ambient ionization mass spectrometry (MS), plasma-based dielectric barrier discharge ionization (DBDI) sources have demonstrated to cover a wide range of these analytes. The flow-through design of this source also allows for easy connection to a thermal desorption type of sample introduction. We present an in-house built thermal desorption device where the sample is introduced via a glass slide, which gets heated and transferred to the DBDI-MS with nitrogen for identification and semi-quantification. Using a glass slide as an inexpensive sampling device, detection limits as low as 20 pg for fentanyl are demonstrated. Additionally, a very precise (>96% accuracy) identification of persons based on the chemical profile of their fingerprints is possible, establishing a direct analytical link of the drug trace to the individual in one measurement. We compared the DAG, TAG, sterol, and (semi-)volatile region of the averaged fingerprint spectra over multiple days, showing the best model accuracy for identification based on the DAG region. The combination of thermal desorption and DBDI-MS minimized sample preparation, leading to an ultrasensitive and rapid analysis of illicit drug traces and the identification of underlying personas based on fingerprints.

Abstract
For over a century, fingerprints have served as a pivotal tool for identification of individuals owing to their enduring characteristics and easily apparent features, particularly in the realm of criminal investigations. Latent fingerprints (LFPs) are "invisible fingerprints" that are most commonly available at crime scenes and require a rapid, selective, sensitive, and convenient method for detection. However, existing fingerprint development techniques harbour limitations, prompting the exploration of novel approaches that prioritize investigator safety and environmental sustainability. Leveraging the unique photophysical properties of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) has emerged as a promising strategy for on-site analysis of LFP visualization. In this highlight, we have presented a comparative analysis of various AIEgens (organic compounds, metal complexes, nanoparticles, and polymers) for the development and detection of LFPs. Through this examination, insights into the efficiency and potential applications of AIE-based fingerprint development techniques are provided. In addition, several strategies have been proposed for circumventing the limitations of existing AIEgens. We hope that this highlight article will encourage more researchers to investigate AIEgens in LFP detection, contributing to forensic science.

Abstract
Powder dusting method is the most widely used approach due to its low cost, simplicity, minimal instrument dependence, and extensive applicability for developing latent fingerprints (LFPs). Herein, a novel optical and electrochemical dual-mode method for high-resolution LFP enhancement has been explored based on size-tunable polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles (NPs) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). Dark PDAs rich in functional groups and negative charges can combine with the residues of LFPs on various surfaces with high sensitivity and selectivity to realize high-resolution visual fingerprint physical patterns on various porous and nonporous substrates with light color. However, optical visualization is not feasible for LFPs on dark or multicolored surfaces. Fortunately, based on the differences in electrochemical reactivity between ridges and furrows caused by the conductivity and reducibility of PDA powders, SECM can serve as a powerful supplement to optical methods to effectively overcome background color interference and distinctly display fingerprint patterns. Intriguingly, it is noteworthy that the binding amount and particle size of PDA powder significantly affected the optical and electrochemical visualization of LFPs: more powder binding amounts provided darker ridges in optical, and more surface reaction sites (larger powder binding mass at the same particle size or smaller particle size at the same mass) provided higher currents of ridges in electrochemical imaging. It demonstrates that the PDA powder as a dual-mode developer for LFPs offers a promising method for individual identification in forensics.

Abstract
Developing new materials that could identify fingerprint using the naked eye and observe the level 3 microscopic details is challenging. Here, we designed a novel hydrochromic and piezochromic dual-responsive optical film, which achieved the visual transparency transition. The performances of hydrochromic and piezochromic responses from high transparency to opaque whiteness were attributed to the introduction of poloxamer. The hygroscopic swelling of the disordered micelles led to light scattering, causing the hydrochromic response. The piezochromic response may be ascribed to the microcracks in the fragments of poloxamer crystals, which changed the refractive index of light. The fascinating combination of hydrochromic and piezochromic response was effectively applied in fingerprint identification. Hydrochromic response accurately recognized sweat pores, and piezochromic response could gradually reveal the ridges and valleys according to the different color of imprinted fingerprints. The film could identify fake fingerprints based on the differences in sweat pores between fake fingerprints and living fingers. More importantly, the film could easily detected not only the clear ridges but also the detailed sweat pores using the naked eye, indicating that the film has profound research significance in fingerprint analysis and liveness fingerprint detection.

Abstract
In most biophysiological processes, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an important intracellular signaling molecule that plays an important role. The change of SO2 in cells are closely related to various diseases such as neurological disorders and lung cancer, so it is necessary to develop fluorescent probes with the ability to accurately detect SO2 during physiological processes. In this work, we designed and synthesized a multifunctional fluorescent probe TIS. TIS has excellent properties such as near-infrared emission, large stokes shift, excellent SO2 detection capabilities, low detection limit, high specificity and visualization of color change before and after reaction. Simultaneously, TIS has low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, clear cell imaging capability and mitochondrial targeting ability. In addition, the ability of TIS to be applied to different material surfaces for latent fingerprint fluorescence imaging was also explored. TIS provides an excellent method for the accurate detection of SO2 derivatives and shows great potential applications in near-infrared cellular imaging and latent fingerprint fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Rapid visualization of latent fingerprints, preferably at their point of origin, is essential for effective crime scene evaluation. Here, we present a new class of green fluorescent protein chromophore-based fluorescent dyes (LFP-Yellow and LFP-Red) that can be used for real-time visualization of LFPs within 10 s. Compared with traditional chemical reagents for LFPs, these fluorescent dyes are completely water-soluble, exhibit low cytotoxicity, and are harmless to users. Level 1-3 details of the LFPs could be clearly revealed through "off-on" fluorescence signal readout. Additionally, the fluorescent dyes were constructed based on an imidazolinone core and so do not contain pyridine groups or metal ions, which ensures that the DNA is not contaminated during extraction and identification after the LFPs are treated with the dyes. Combined with our as-developed portable system for capturing LFPs, LFP-Yellow and LFP-Red enabled the rapid capture of LFPs. Therefore, these green fluorescent protein chromophore-based probes provide an approach for the rapid identification of individuals who were present at a crime scene.

Abstract
Nowadays, it is fascinating to engineer waste biomass into functional valuable nanomaterials. We investigate the production of hetero-atom doped carbon quantum dots (N-S@MCDs) to address the adaptability constraint in green precursors concerning the contents of the green precursors i.e., Tagetes erecta (marigold extract). The successful formation of N-S@MCDs as described has been validated by distinct analytical characterizations. As synthesized N-S@MCDs successfully incorporated on corn-starch powder, providing a nano-carbogenic fingerprint powder composition (N-S@MCDs/corn-starch phosphors). N-S@MCDs imparts astounding color-tunability which enables highly fluorescent fingerprint pattern developed on different non-porous surfaces along with immediate visual enhancement under UV-light, revealing a bright sharp fingerprint, along with long-time preservation of developed fingerprints. The creation and comparison of latent fingerprints (LFPs) are two key research in the recognition and detection of LFPs, respectively. In this work, developed fingerprints are regulated with an artificial intelligence program. The optimum sample has a very high degree of similarity with the standard control, as shown by the program's good matching score (86.94%) for the optimal sample. Hence, our results far outperform the benchmark attained using the conventional method, making the N-S@MCDs/corn-starch phosphors and the digital processing program suitable for use in real-world scenarios.

Abstract
Fingerprints have been widely used and accepted as an effective method of human identification. This biometric tool aids in criminal investigations for personal identity for over a century. Whilst the Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) has bolstered security efforts, it has also opened doors to potential scams, affecting both civilian and law enforcement operations. Despite extensive research on fingerprint authentication issues, very little attention has been given to addressing the problem of fingerprint alteration or obfuscation. Fraudsters, with the guidance of experts, have developed new techniques to obscure their fingerprints intentionally. Fingerprint obfuscation is the deliberate alteration of fingerprint patterns with the aim of concealing their true identity, raising concerns amongst security and investigative organizations. The objective of the current communication is to highlight the numerous techniques used for obfuscation, forgery and alteration of fingerprints in humans. It further accentuates the need for identification and interpretation of these altered fingerprints and recommends notifying law enforcement agencies of potential threats.

Abstract
The extraordinary and unique properties of persistent luminescent (PerLum) nanostructures like storage of charge carriers, extended afterglow, and some other fascinating characteristics like no need for in-situ excitation, and rechargeable luminescence make such materials a primary candidate in the fields of bio-imaging and therapeutics. Apart from this, due to their extraordinary properties they have also found their place in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, latent fingerprinting (LPF), luminescent markings, photocatalysis, solid-state lighting devices, glow-in-dark toys, etc. Over the past few years, persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been extensively used for targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging guided photodynamic and photo-thermal therapy, biosensing for cancer detection and subsequent treatment, latent fingerprinting, and anti-counterfeiting owing to their enhanced charge storage ability, in-vitro excitation, increased duration of time between excitation and emission, low tissue absorption, high signal-to-noise ratio, etc. In this review, we have focused on most of the key aspects related to PLNPs, including the different mechanisms leading to such phenomena, key fabrication techniques, properties of hosts and different activators, emission, and excitation characteristics, and important properties of trap states. This review article focuses on recent advances in cancer theranostics with the help of PLNPs. Recent advances in using PLNPs for anti-counterfeiting and latent fingerprinting are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
The exploration of multifunctional materials and intelligent technologies used for fluorescence sensing and latent fingerprint (LFP) identification is a research hotspot of material science. In this study, an emerging crystalline luminescent material, Eu3+-functionalized hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Eu@HOF-BTB, Eu@1), is fabricated successfully. Eu@1 can emit purple red fluorescence with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 36.82%. Combined with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms including support vector machine, principal component analysis, and hierarchical clustering analysis, Eu@1 as a sensor can concurrently distinguish two carcinogens, roxarsone and aristolochic acid, based on different mechanisms. The sensing process exhibits high selectivity, high efficiency, and excellent anti-interference. Meanwhile, Eu@1 is also an excellent eikonogen for LFP identification with high-resolution and high-contrast. Based on an automatic fingerprint identification system, the simultaneous differentiation of two fingerprint images is achieved. Moreover, a simulation experiment of criminal arrest is conducted. By virtue of the Alexnet-based fingerprint analysis platform of AI, unknown LFPs can be compared with a database to identify the criminal within one second with over 90% recognition accuracy. With AI technology, HOFs are applied for the first time in the LFP identification field, which provides a new material and solution for investigators to track criminal clues and handle cases efficiently.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to apply the two most effective enhancement sequences for latent fingermarks on Clydesdale Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland polymer banknotes (£10 and £5), as determined in a previous study, to a pseudo-operational trial. The two enhancement sequences established as being the most effective for these types of notes were superglue fuming using PolycyanoUV followed by black magnetic powder, and black powder suspension. Both enhancement sequences included a fluorescence examination before enhancement, and after-treatment using white light, followed by Infrared light. The study conducted by Joannidis et al. was carried out in a controlled laboratory environment where all variables, i.e., the position and age of each fingermark, were known and controlled. However, these conditions do not accurately mirror those of polymer notes seized as part of a criminal investigation. The two most effective enhancement sequences were therefore tested in a pseudo-operational trial to determine whether they would be as effective when applied to banknotes that mimicked those seized in an investigation. To mimic these conditions 102 banknotes from each bank (each containing a mixture of circulated and uncirculated banknotes) were left out in the laboratory for four weeks for the laboratory staff to randomly handle. The results from this pseudo operational trial confirmed the outcomes of the previous study. Superglue fuming (using PolyCyano UV) followed by black magnetic powder was found to be effective in enhancing fingermarks on both Clydesdale Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland polymer banknotes (£10 and £5). This was closely followed in effectiveness by powder suspension which, although it gave slightly poorer results than superglue followed by black magnetic powder, was also effective at enhancing ridge detail. This study also confirmed that Infrared light (730-800 nm), with the addition of an 815 nm filter for notes processed using superglue and black magnetic powder,aided in the reduction of background pattern interference when photographing any ridge detail.

Abstract
Fingerprints have long been the gold standard for personal identification in forensic science. However, realizing the high-resolution enhancement of eccrine LFPs is difficult using the traditional methods and the label-free detection of fingerprint residue information is also challenging. Herein, we propose two enhancement strategies for LFPs on PVDF membrane (LFPs/PVDF) using blue-black ink staining and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The blue-black ink staining method was used for the first time to develop three types (sebaceous, natural and eccrine) of LFPs/PVDF based on the difference in wettability between the fingerprint residues and PVDF membrane. The enhanced fingerprints clearly displayed levels 1-3 features with high contrast and low background interference. Furthermore, we achieved chemical imaging of the LFP/PVDF samples, where their possible visualization mechanisms were ascribed to the electrochemical reactivity of squalene and difference in wettability between the LFP and PVDF membrane, which was first proposed and investigated by SECM imaging and water contact angle (WCA) measurements, respectively. Significantly, SECM imaging not only provided fingerprint patterns without any labelling but also revealed the spatial distribution information of squalene in LFPs simultaneously. In addition, it was also demonstrated that LFPs deposited on various surfaces were first successfully transferred to the PVDF membrane, and then further developed with both methods, making them general for personal identity-related applications. Taken together, the blue-black ink staining method can easily and quickly obtain level 3 features of LFPs/PVDF and the SECM approach can non-invasively image the topography and chemical information of LFPs/PVDF, and thus they can be potentially selected according to various requirements in forensic scenarios.

Abstract
The time since deposition (TSD) of latent fingermarks (LFMs) serves as "witnesses" for crime scene reconstructions. Nevertheless, existing TSD prediction approaches focused on either physical or chemical aging parameters leading to inaccurate estimation. A novel label-free protocol has been developed, where both physical ridge patterns and lipid oxide (LipOx) degradation kinetics are realized using optical microscopy and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and combined for TSD prediction. Specifically, the surface interrogation (SI)-SECM titration was utilized to monitor the LipOx degradation in LFM arrays aligned by hole array masks, through which we derived the LipOx degradation function. After establishing the relationship between several titration parameters and titrated area by experimental and numerical simulation methods, the titrated area could be reasonably estimated and subsequently used to calculate the surface coverage of LipOx. Results demonstrated that the tip transient revealed the LipOx coverage of deposited LFMs. Notably, LipOx coverage was found to increase during the first day and then decrease over time, whose degradation rate was susceptible to light. Thus, TSD candidates of an LFM could be limited to two values through the established function. Due to the nonmonotonic trend of LipOx aging, a physical parameter "the gray value ratio (GVR) of furrows to ridges" was proposed to exclude irrelevant TSD through support vector machine (SVM) classification. Ultimately, we predicted TSDs of seven LFMs with estimation errors of 2.2-26.8%. Overall, our strategy, with the outperformed capability of gleaning physical and electrochemical information on LFMs, can provide a truly label-free way of studying LFMs and hold great promise for multidimensional fingerprint information analysis.

Abstract
The development of luminescent materials greatly affects the development of fluorescence imaging technology. The preparation of carbon dots (CDs) with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in the solid-state is challenging due to excessive resonance energy transfer (RET) and direct π-π interactions. In this study, we synthesized carbon dots that exhibit green fluorescence (GCDs) with absolute PLQYs up to 35.65% in one step by a microwave-assisted method. In the solid-state, the absolute PLQY reached 19.25%. Then, the GCDs were mixed with soluble starch in appropriate proportions, which improved the adsorption and dispersion of the GCDs and greatly reduced the cost of the fingerprint powder, and increased the absolute PLQY of the fingerprint powder to 41.75%. Finally, we prepared GCDs for preliminary fabrication of luminescent films, and the GCD-starch powder was successfully applied to high-quality latent fingerprint (LFP) imaging. The related properties of GCDs and the LFP detection performance of fingerprint detection powders prepared by GCDs were studied in detail. The results showed that the LFP system developed with GCDs-starch powder visualized LFPs with high definition and contrast under different conditions, and GCDs had potential for application in light-emitting devices. This study developed a new type of solid-state luminescent CDs and demonstrated that these GCDs have great application potential for LFP detection. This study may also provide inspiration for other applications based on efficient solid-state fluorescence.

Abstract
Instant visualization of latent fingerprints is developed by using a series of water-soluble terpyridine zinc complexes as aggregation-induced emission probes in pure water, under UV light or ambient sunlight. By simply soaking, or spraying with an aqueous solution of the probe, bright yellow fluorescence images with high contrast and resolution are readily developed on various surfaces including tinfoil, glass, paper, steel, leather, and ceramic tile. Remarkably, latent fingerprints can be visualized within seconds including details of whorl and sweat pores. The color of emission can be tuned from blue to orange by modifying the pincer ligands, allowing direct imaging under sunlight. These inexpensive, water-resistant, and color-tunable probes provide a practical approach for latent fingerprints recording and analysis, security protection, as well as criminal investigation in different scenarios.

Abstract
The discovery of X-ray-charged persistent luminescence (PersL) in fluoride nanoparticles enables these materials to emit photons without real-time excitation, which provides a great possibility for the development of new luminescent nanotechnologies. In this work, we developed NaLuF4:Mn nanoparticles with intense green PersL and functionalized surfaces and accordingly achieved time-gated imaging of latent fingerprints (LFPs) with Level 3 details. These surface-modified NaLuF4:Mn nanoparticles exhibited near-spherical morphology, long-lasting emission for several hours, appropriate trap depth distribution, and tight chemical bonding with amino acids from fingerprints, thus greatly improving the accuracy of LFP imaging in a variety of environments. The developed NaLuF4:Mn PersL nanoparticles are expected to find broad applications in the fields of LFP imaging and in vivo biological imaging.

Abstract
Fingerprint-inspired elastomeric grating meta-skin (EGMS) is herein fabricated to investigate the chirality of fingerprints. The EGMS is made by a facile nanoimprinting method with a diffraction grating as a template using polydimethylsiloxane, followed by gold deposition. The chirality of the surface is caused by symmetry breaking, induced by the pattern (P) and curvature (T). Furthermore, the chiroptical properties of EGMS are reconfigurable through the control of the skew angle (θ), which is the angle between P and T. The chiroptical properties of a fingerprint are also shown and interpreted in this perspective. On the basis of the results, we suggest the strategy to impart chirality on the surface, which is reconfigurable by controlling P and T. It will be a useful method to produce chirality in membranes, thin films, metasurfaces, and 2D nanomaterials, as well as advance biometric recognition.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are notable developments in the field of DNA analysis and recognition, still fingerprint analysis remains the most preferred approach for obtaining substantial forensic evidences. The identification of individuals through pattern comparison has been used through ages, but it becomes less effective when the pattern is blurred, partial in nature or not found in database. Thus, recent advances in analytical techniques over the last decade will provide additional information to the evidence. In the view of forensic investigations, the compilation of individual chemical profiles with the pattern would enhance the evidentiary value of the latent fingerprints.
Main body
The review has been divided into different parts, describing the various influencing factors which affect the chemical composition of a fingerprint, i.e., lifestyle and occupation, age of an individual, types of substrate on which fingerprint is deposited, environmental conditions, contaminants, and the various advanced instrumental techniques utilized till now in the detection of chemical constituents of fingerprint have been discussed.
Conclusion
The present work aims to enlighten the missing gaps of knowledge in elucidating the detailed chemical composition of fingerprints and highlight the various analytical techniques used till date. Though, there are several analytical techniques employed till date to explicate the constituents of fingerprints, detailed information is still lacking. Therefore, advanced future research is need of the hour for identification of the fingerprints and determining their aging kinetics.

Abstract
Recently, the application of novel nanomaterials, especially magnetic nanomaterials in the development of latent fingerprints (LFP), has become the hot focus for forensic scientists and criminal investigators. As a type of recyclable, environment-friendly material, Fe3O4 nanoparticles achieve a wonderful effect in visualization of LFP. We first report the synthesis and encapsulation of nano-Fe3O4 through "facile coprecipitation", (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane was covalently embedded into Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and the Fe3O4 core was encapsulated by the nanosilver to prepare novel magnetic nanomaterials (P-MNP@Ag) with the core-shell configuration. For comparison, the magnetic nanomaterials (S-MNP@Ag) were prepared by surface modification. Their composition, structure, and properties were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, IR, XPS, and VSM. Compared with commercially available gold powder, silver powder, bare magnetic powder, and prepared S-MNP@Ag, the development effect of LFP on different objects by using P-MNP@Ag had better performance, which presented the advantages of low background interference, high sensitivity, and clear secondary details in LFP. In the crime scenes of some influential cases, P-MNP@Ag had been applied to the visualization of LFP. The biometric identification of criminal suspects was confirmed through fingerprint comparison, which was highly affirmed by the public security department.

Abstract
Level 3 details play essential roles in practical latent fingerprint (LFP) identification. To reliably extract reproducible and identifiable level 3 features, high-resolution images of fingerprints with adequate quality are required. Conventional methods for acquiring level 3 details often involve specific pretreatment, intricate peripheral, leading to time-consuming analysis. Herein, we simply used water to develop the sebaceous LFPs deposited on nitrocellulose (NC) membranes with only one step, and then the high-resolution (2048 pixels per inch) optical micrographs were captured to reflect the live fingertip with high fidelity. From the pictures, level 3 features, including all dimensional attributes of the ridges and pores such as number, size, location, shape, and edge contour can be extracted accurately and reproducibly. Among them, qualitative features (the structures of ridge edges) and several quantitative characteristics (the number and the relative location of sweat pores) exhibit good reproducibility. Remarkably, we proposed a new parameter termed "frequency distribution of the distance between adjacent sweat pores", short form "FDDasp", which was further proved highly identifiable in different individuals, enabling the successful distinguishment between two fragmentary fingerprints with similar level 2 structures. We believe that this methodology provides a fast and quantitative analytical paradigm for latent fingerprint identification at level 3 details.

Abstract
User-friendly fingerprint powders, namely efficient, low-cost and nontoxic ones, are always desirable for the development of latent fingerprints (LFPs). Here, we described the use of pristine graphic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-C3N4 QDs) as a new kind of user-friendly fingerprint powder. The g-C3N4 QDs can be easily prepared from urea and sodium citrate precursors through low temperature solid-phase reaction. Due to their good optical properties and selective interactions with secretion residuals, the g-C3N4 QDs powders were exploited to develop LFPs on different substrates by the powder dusting technique. The LFP images on a plastic bag exhibited a high ridge and furrow contrast ratio, allowing for easy identification of level 1 - 3 details of LFPs. This work indicates that the g-C3N4 QD powders provide good performance for LFP visualization and is likely to be adopted for some applications in forensic investigations.

Abstract
Latent fingerprints (LFPs) are one of the most important forms of evidence in crime scenes due to the uniqueness and permanence of the friction ridges in fingerprints. Therefore, an efficient method to detect LFPs is crucial in forensic science. However, there remain several challenges with traditional detection strategies including low sensitivity, low contrast, high background, and complicated processing steps. In order to overcome these drawbacks, we present an approach for developing latent fingerprints using stabilized CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) as solid-state nanopowders. We demonstrate the superior optical stability of CsPbBr3 NCs with respect to absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and fluorescence lifetime. We then used these highly stable, fluorescent CsPbBr3 NCs as a powder dusting material to develop LFPs on diverse surfaces. The stable optical properties and hydrophobic surface of the CsPbBr3 NC nanopowder permitted high resolution images from which unique features of friction ridge arrangements with first, second, and third-level LFP details can be obtained within minutes.

Abstract
The ingredients of an antipyretic (acetaminophen, AAP) and their metabolites excreted into fingerprint were detected by surface-assisted laser desorption ionization (SALDI) mass spectrometry using zeolite. In the fingerprint taken 4 h after AAP ingestion, not only AAP but also the glucuronic acid conjugate of AAP (GAAP), caffeine (Caf), ethenzamide (Eth), salicylamide (Sala; a metabolite of Eth), and urea were detected. Fingerprints were collected over time to determine how the amounts of AAP and its metabolite changed with time, and the time dependence of the peak intensities of protonated AAP and GAAP was measured. It was found that the increase of [GAAP+H]+ peak started later than that of [AAP+H]+ peak, reflecting the metabolism of AAP. Both AAP and GAAP reached maximum concentrations approximately 3 h after ingestion, and were excreted from the body with a half-life of approximately 3.3 h. In addition, fingerprint preservation was confirmed by optical microscopy, and fingerprint shape was retained even after laser irradiation of the fingerprint. Our method may be used in fingerprint analysis.

Abstract
Latent fingerprint recognition technique has received increasing attention because it helps to precisely identify human information for many applications. In this study, bifunctional core-shell magnetic fluorescent microspheres have been synthesized via a facile interface Pechini-type sol-gel method using citric acid and polyethylene glycol as chelating agent and cross-linking agent, respectively. The obtained Fe3O4@YVO4:Eu3+ microspheres possess a typical core-shell structure, large magnetization, and strong fluorescence emission. The surface morphology and roughness of the microspheres can be flexibly tuned by controlling the multistep interface deposition process and subsequent calcination temperatures. Due to their well-integrated bifunctionalities, these magnetic fluorescent microspheres show outstanding performance in the visualization of latent fingerprints on various substrates with high definition and excellent anti-interference, and therefore they have great potential for application in identity recognition.

Abstract
Fingerprints form when fingers touch a solid surfaceand are considered the best way for individual identification. However, the current latent fingerprint (LFP) developing methods cannot meet the demand for high sensitivity and being convenient and healthy. Herein, bifunctional Fe3O4@SiO2-CsPbBr3 powders have been designed and fabricated and exhibit good magnetic and strong fluorescent properties. The magnetism of Fe3O4 can avoid dust flying, while the fluorescence of CsPbBr3 ensures the high definition of LFPs. Clear fingerprints have been detected on various solid substrates using the Fe3O4@SiO2-CsPbBr3 powders instead of eikonogen. Detailed characterization studies suggest that the ammonium cationic groups on the surface of nanoparticles (NPs) have strong adhesive interactions with the residues of fingerprints because of the electrostatic attraction between them. Therefore, the convenient operation and excellent resolution offer great opportunity in the practical application of fingerprint detection and other areas.

Abstract
The latent fingerprints (LFPs) at the crime scene are unique and stable, which are considered as an important clue in criminal justice and forensic identification. Herein, a butterfly-shaped molecule DPTS with solid fluorescence plus excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) properties was used to develop for enhancing the visualization of the LFPs. Considering the solid fluorescence of DPTS, the color and efficiency of DPTS with a large Stokes shift (216 nm) can be tuned by changing the morphology of its aggregates, and gradually red-shifted (green-yellow-red) with increasing water content. Furthermore, its effectiveness for the detection of LFPs was demonstrated on various different substrates including paper box, tinfoil and weighting paper. The emissive fingerprint of DPTS obtained gave good fluorescence images with high contrast and resolution such as the core, delta, bifurcation, ridge termination, independent ridge and pores. Caging of the phenol donor of DPTS with a sensitive biomarker group provided DPTS-ONOO-, which had high sensitive with detection limit of 5 nM and the quantification limit of 21 nM toward ONOO-. Modularly derived DPTS-ONOO- was synthesized and demonstrated specific fluorescence imaging of exogenous and endogenous peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in living macrophage cells.

Abstract
Latent blood fingerprints (LBFPs) can provide critical information of foul play and help identify the suspects at violent crime scenes. The current methods for LBFP visualization are still not satisfactory because of the low sensitivity or complicated protocol. This study demonstrates a simple and effective LBFP visualization strategy by integrating a new amphiphilic fluorescent amino-functionalized conjugated polymer with the cotton-pad developing protocol. LBFPs on various substrates are visualized by simply covering them with the polymer solution-soaked cotton pads. The images display clear fingerprint patterns, ridge details, and sweat pores, even on very challenging substrates such as painted wood and multicolored can. The gray value analysis confirms semiquantitatively the enhancement of the contrast between ridges and furrows. Even LBFPs with various contaminations or aged for more than 600 days are effectively developed and visualized. The developed fingerprint images show superior stability over long storage time and against solvent washing. Moreover, the polymer causes no degradation of DNAs in the blood, suggesting the possibility of further DNA profiling and identification after development. The mechanistic investigation suggests that the formation of positive or inverted images can be attributed to the synergistic effects from the affinity between polymer and blood, and the affinity betwen polymer and substrate, as well as the slight quenching of polymer fluorescence by blood. Furthermore, the covalent bonding between the protonated primary amino group and proteins in blood endows the stability of the developed fingerprints. The result rationalizes the molecular design of the fluorescent polymer and sheds new light on the future strategies to effective LBFP visualization in practical applications.

Abstract
By attaching the1-pyreneiodide ancillary ligand to the surface of polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized gold (Au:PVP) cluster or the cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide-stabilized gold (Au:CTAB) nanorod, a new class of luminescent mixed ligand-stabilized gold nanostructures is synthesized. This postsynthetic surface modification method followed by us is a comparatively easier and hassle-free technique to acquire surface-active luminescent "functional nanomaterials". Careful analyses of transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the sizes of these Au-clusters or Au-nanorods remain unchanged without any noticeable aggregation in the medium. Owing to the formation of an excimer within the neighboring pyrenes mounted on the surface of core nanostructures (i.e., Au:PVP nanocluster and Au:CTAB nanorod), the resulting pyrene-grafted nanocomposites exhibit strong emission characteristics. The strong excimer emission is significantly quenched in the presence of electron-deficient chemical inputs, and this phenomenon can be used for analytical purposes. Using these luminescent Au-nanomaterials, we demonstrate a selective detection and sensing of trace-level nitroaromatic explosives (e.g., trinitrotoluene, trinitrophenol (TNP), dinitrotoluene, 4-nitrotoluene, etc.). It was observed that the Py-Au:PVP nanocluster is equally effective for explosive detection in both solution and solid phases with the limit of detection up to 10 nanomolar. A high Stern-Volmer constant of up to 3.88 × 106 M-1 was seen in the case of TNP in anhydrous methanol at 298 K. The deactivation pathway operating within the Py-Au:PVP nanocluster and the analytes is thought to be a result of a predominating static quenching process, where a nonfluorescent D-A supramolecular adduct is formed in the medium. Py-Au:PVP has also been successfully used to develop latent fingerprints from nonporous surfaces under an exposure of 365 nm UV light. The results suggest that these new composite materials could behave as potential "functional nanomaterials", which might be a promising alternative for on-the-spot detection of explosive traces as well as for easy visualization of latent fingerprints.

Abstract
We introduce a new latent fingermark (LFM) development method, where compounds showing long lifetime luminescence are generated in situ by the reactions of Eu(TTA)3(H2O)2 with LFM components. Until now, time-gated imaging could not be used to develop LFM on porous surfaces due to the difficulties with selective binding of the developing agents to the fingermark ridges. The nature of the interactions of Eu(TTA)3(H2O)2 with the LFM material has been investigated for three model compounds commonly found in the LFM composition-oleic acid, l-serine, and squalene. The LFMs developed with the europium β-diketonate complex have been successfully photographed using a time-gated imaging scheme. The presented new approach has been demonstrated to give similar or better results than developing agents commonly used for paper samples (ninhydrin and 1,2-indanedione). Moreover, contrary to the methods mentioned above, the new approach allows for the development of amino acid-poor LFM on paper.

Abstract
The recent demand for fluorescent-labeled materials (FLMs) in forensic security concepts such as latent fingerprints (LFs) that encode information for anti-counterfeiting and encryption of confidential data makes necessary the development of building new and innovative materials. Here, novel FLMs based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) functionalized with fluorophores via "click" reactions have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized. A comprehensive study of their photophysical properties has displayed large Stokes's shift together with good photostability in all cases, fulfilling the fundamental requisites for any legible LF detection on various surfaces. The excellent performance of the hetero-bifunctional FLM in the visualization of LF is emphasized by their legibility, selectivity, sensitivity and temporal photostability. In this study, development mechanisms have been proposed and the overall concept constitute a novel approach for vis-à-vis forensic investigations to trace an individual's identity.

Abstract
OrbiSIMS is a recently developed instrument for label-free imaging of chemicals with micron spatial resolution and high mass resolution. We report a cryogenic workflow for OrbiSIMS (Cryo-OrbiSIMS) that improves chemical detection of lipids and other biomolecules in tissues. Cryo-OrbiSIMS boosts ionization yield and decreases ion-beam induced fragmentation, greatly improving the detection of biomolecules such as triacylglycerides. It also increases chemical coverage to include molecules with intermediate or high vapor pressures, such as free fatty acids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). We find that Cryo-OrbiSIMS reveals the hitherto unknown localization patterns of SVOCs with high spatial and chemical resolution in diverse plant, animal, and human tissues. We also show that Cryo-OrbiSIMS can be combined with genetic analysis to identify enzymes regulating SVOC metabolism. Cryo-OrbiSIMS is applicable to high resolution imaging of a wide variety of non-volatile and semi-volatile molecules across many areas of biomedicine.
