Using a laser and a device that converts reflected light into sound, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, TN; www.ornl.gov) can detect explosives at ...

The state-of-the-art in military energetics is HMX, a powerful material that is dense, thermodynamically stable and low in sensitivity—in other words, a devastating explosive that is safe to handle.

Electrochemical detection techniques have emerged as a promising alternative for the rapid and sensitive identification of nitroaromatic explosives. These methods harness the redox properties of ...

In modern devices, such as phone screens or advanced sensors, light is often generated by pairs of organic molecules, where one molecule, known as the donor, transmits electrons, and the other, ...
