Abstract

A method and system for characterizing gun-shot residue. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a method that includes determining a size and an elemental composition of at least one nanoparticle from the gun shot residue and computing a temperature of formation of the at least one nanoparticle based on the size and the elemental composition of the at least one nanoparticle.
