The crime-busting tools of science fiction are becoming a reality. A new forensic test can detect the ethnicity and gender of someone using nothing but a single hair, and in less than two minutes no less, according to a new study.<br \/>\nThe study, published in the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry, details how a new tool designed by scientists has shown a 100 percent success rate in identifying gender and ethnicity using a strand of hair.<br \/>\nThis test reportedly trumps DNA testing currently used by law enforcement &#8211; which traditionally relies on blood to determine factors like gender and ethnicity. According to a Queen&#8217;s University press release, the new test and tool also works in a fraction of the time of standard blood testing, getting highly accurate results in about 85 seconds.<br \/>\nAccording to the study, the test takes an unusual approach to DNA testing, in which a single hair is ground up and then burnt. The foul smelling vapor consequently produced is then analyzed to produce a DNA analysis that reportedly has had a 100 percent success rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News: Look out criminals.
