Forensic scientists would conduct the film’s infamous moth cocoon scene rather differently today.

Using robots to simulate stabbings can enhance forensic accuracy – and the pursuit of justice.
When human remains are found underwater, forensics needs a different approach. To understand what happens at sea, we need to study it.
A uniquely identifying population of bacteria can survive on clothes for months after a person wears them.
Fatal stabbings are the leading cause of homicide in countries with restricted access to firearms, including Australia. New research could help solve these cases.
The Titan disaster happened in international waters, in a commercially operated vessel, and with victims of different nationalities. Any details that emerge will likely be treated with sensitivity.
You can’t tape off an entire ocean. But ‘aquatic forensics’ is an emerging field, with techniques borrowed from archaeology, marine biology and more.
Burial land is running low in certain parts of the world. It’s about time we started to consider the environmental cost of our final resting place.
The remains of murder victims often turn up in suitcases, bins, and similar items. Forensic researchers in Australia are leading the way in helping to solve such cases.
Identifying the victims of a mass casualty event is a crucial part of grieving and community healing.
Forensic entomologists analyse blowflies and cocoon cases to help solve crimes.
We’re searching for ways to use recovered bones and teeth to better understand time spent in the sea, and the overall journey of the mortal remains.
There are no COVID-specific protocols for forensic officers collecting evidence from crime scenes. New recommendations suggest how teams and their equipment can be reorganised to minimise the risk.
