Abstract
This paper focuses on the application of forensic science in latent fingerprint detection by the usage of distinct nanomaterials and their benefit with respect to the quality of fingerprint images. Nanotechnology is involved with the study of nanoscale materials, it is having a substantial impact in every industry. It is a widely used technique because of its ability to change and characterize matter down to individual and tiny atoms. Nanoparticles have recently showed considerable potential in the production of nano-fingerprints i.e. the nextgeneration of fingerprint development procedures. Silica nanoparticles were produced to detect invisible finger impressions on non-absorbent surfaces. Silicon usually has been obtained from mineral in rock and sand, however, silicon also can be obtained in organic material such as risk husk, bamboo leaf, wheat husk and another agricultural waste. Bamboo is a source of organic silica (bio-silica). The bamboo absorbs silicic acid from the water and then convert it into SiO2 hydrate in the root branches and leaves
