Abstract: Since the nanotechnology introduced to the field of forensic science, it has brought many novel approaches for our fingerprint technology workers and received great attentions of forensic scientists both home and abroad for its unique advantages. Nanotechnology based methods have attracted considerable research efforts in recent years. In this paper we introduced the concept of nano-materials in developing fingerprints, and we also reviewed the development of revealing latent fingerprints with semi-conductive nano-materials and its latest progress. 

Key words: nano-material, latent fingerprint, photoluminescence method
