The discovery exploits a new hair analysis method that could help, in addition to police, even doctors, archaeologists and anthropologists in their research. In fact, one was created sort of "water mapping" that allows you to combine geographical areas with isotope values detected in the hair. Police forces are using this method to obtain the origin of some unidentified murder victims. Isotopes are forms of the same chemical element with different atomic weights, because they present a different number of neutrons in the nucleus (the stable isotopes are those that do not have radioactive decay). Three years ago two expected they founded IsoForensics, a company that uses stable isotope analysis to detect them Small variations of a chemical element. The team managed to map the concentrations of the stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in the hair, discovering that they are a trace of those present in food and drinking water, but also in breathed...
