Astroforensics: Pioneering Blood Behavior Research for Space Crime Solving
==========
Researchers from Staffordshire University and the University of Hull conducted a study on the behavior of blood in microgravity and the challenges of bloodstain pattern analysis in space. The study, led by bloodstain expert Zack Kowalske, involved experiments aboard a parabolic aircraft to simulate reduced gravity. The researchers found that in microgravity, the surface tension and cohesion of blood droplets are amplified, causing them to stick to surfaces until a greater force causes detachment. This affects the spread rate and shape of blood droplets, making traditional bloodstain pattern analysis techniques less accurate. The study highlights the need for reliable forensic science techniques in space as space exploration continues to evolve. The researchers suggest that astroforensics, the study of forensic sciences in non-terrestrial environments, is a critical field that requires further research.
