Under the patronage of the esteemed Dean of the College of Science, and under the supervision of the Head of the Forensic Evidence Department, the department organized a scientific workshop titled “Molecular Energy: Kinetic vs. Potential.” The event brought together faculty members, researchers, and undergraduate and postgraduate students. The workshop aimed to highlight the scientific concept of molecular energy and its types, with special focus on the key differences between kinetic energy and potential energy, and their roles in chemical reactions and analytical processes used in forensic science. Discussions also covered the microscopic behavior of molecules in burned, exploded, or physically altered materials, and how energy transitions assist in interpreting forensic evidence. Speakers emphasized the importance of integrating modern physical concepts into forensic laboratory practices to enhance the quality of analytical reports and improve scientific accuracy.
