Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Experts Put a Name to a Face in Pre-Civil War Era Forensic Case
A team of researchers led by Doug Owsley, forensic anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution, have determined the identity of a pre-Civil War era individual buried in a cast iron coffin that was discovered in Washington, D.C., in 2005 by a utility crew. After a complete forensic examination in 2005 and two years of genealogical research, the boy in the iron coffin has been identified as William Taylor White, a 15-year-old from Accomack County, Va., who was buried in a Columbian College cemetery in 1852 in what is now the district's Columbia Heights neighborhood. Continued tracing of the White family has resulted in identifying that the boy's lineage leads back to Anthony West, one of the Jamestown, Va., settlers.continue
Research to Assist in the Investigation of Criminal and Terrorist Activity
Police and security services will benefit from new research aimed at improving the investigation of criminal and terrorist activity. Scientists at The University of Nottingham are collaborating with experts at four other universities to develop techniques that combine technologies for location based games and analysing communication signals with forensic psychology techniques for detecting deception during interviews with suspects.
Professor Mike Jackson, Director of the Centre for Geospatial Science (CGS) and Associate Professor Gary Priestnall, will lead research on the positioning and tracking of mobile devices and the systems architecture that will host the location-based games that will be used by the consortium.continue
Forensic -- A Study
In one simple sentence, forensic science is the application of a number of sciences to find out information that is required by the law in the process of administering justice. The science of forensics is ultimately meant to bring a criminal to book and to deconstruct a crime scenario so that everything comes to light. Understandably, forensic science has to cover a lot of ground and the subdivisions of the subject are fairly broad.
Ballistics, toxicology, psychology, photography, odontology, epistemology, entomology, forensic engineering, forensic anthropology, forensic economics and forensic anthropology are a few of the disciplines that are used by the broad subject of forensic science.

Moving Towards Portable: Electrophoretic Techniques in Forensics and Disaster Genetics
Within forensic analysis, there is a growing need to move towards portable detection systems. This need occurs in the civilian fields of crime scene trace analysis and disaster genetics - the identification of remains after a natural disaster or terrorist events. There is a direct parallel between the potential specifications of these civilian forensics systems and those suitable for the detection of bio-threats in the defense arena.
Most detection systems for these analyses involve the use of labels. Such labels may be fluorescent or chemiluminescent and act to amplify the signal to ensure detection of the potential pathogen at low concentration.
