explosives

The research could help understand the impacts of explosions on environmental and infrastructural concerns underwater

Researchers have now shown how the structure of a MOF, and its interactions with the guest molecules, can produce a signal

New device is able to detect trace amounts of nitroaromatic compounds and can be applied to identify the majority of explosives or highly toxic pollutants for medical and forensic evaluations

A new way to inspect cargo at ports of entry

The new detection method is able to analyze a wider range of materials than current thermal based detection systems used in today’s airports, while reducing false positive reports

A new way of detecting homemade explosives will help forensic scientists trace where they came from

Researchers offer a new tool to characterize shock waves with their experimentally confirmed model

Los Alamos National Laboratory and the US Army are working on a replacement for toxic TNT

Eventually, this method could be used in systems placed in airports, for the environmental monitoring of pollutants, or even in battlefields

By mimicking how dogs get their whiffs, researchers have demonstrated that “active sniffing” can improve by more than 10 times the performance of current technologies that rely on continuous suction to detect trace amounts of explosives and other contraband
