"Glass fragments collected from a crime scene can be accurately matched using a technique developed by forensic scientists in the Netherlands. Shirly Berends-Montero and colleagues at the Netherlands Forensic Institute in The Hague used laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to make accurate comparisons of trace elements present in glass shards obtained from the scene of a burglary. LA-ICP-MS identified that the glass fragments came from a single source."
