Abstract
Nanotechnology has been applied to various fields of science including electronics, engineering, physical sciences, materials sciences, biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, medical science and dentistry. Nanotechnology is becoming popular in forensics because nanoparticles can transform the bulky instruments into small chip-based system, and shorten analysis methods to make investigations, sensitive, timely, and applicable. Due to this reason nanotechnology is effectively used in the field of forensic medicine in detection and quantification of different toxic substances from various evidences like, blood, saliva, hair, teeth, vitreous humor and even from skeletal remains and fingerprint samples. So this review paper was prepared to highlight the main applications of nanotechnology in the field of forensic science. Keywords: Nanoforensics, Nanotechnology, Forensics, Fingerprints.

American Physicist and Nobel Laureate Dr.Richard Phillips Feynmaan in 1959 initially took innovative step towards nanotechnology and Norio Taniguchi in 1974 is the first to coin the term “Nanotechnology”
Nanomaterials can be analyzed by various techniques like electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Raman microspectroscopy.[1,2,3]
