Random Sand Fact
Can glow-in-the-dark craft sand help solve crimes?
In the Netherlands, forensic researchers use it to study how tiny glass particles stick to and transfer between clothes.
The grains behave similarly to glass particles but are far easier to see and count. Experiments that once took months can now be done in a few days.
Sometimes the solution can come from a bag of craft sand.
