June 25, 2014 at 09:05Israelis have developed a chip that traps explosives in the air up to five meters away
The new chip with microscopic chemical sensors is capable of sensing explosives in air at a concentration of the order of a molecule per quadrillion, which is a million times more sensitive than modern sensors. An article about this development was published in the journal Nature Communications.
During the tests, he proved to be effective at a distance of up to five meters in the air, heavily contaminated with cigarette smoke. Since we are talking about basic research, scanners based on this development will appear soon in everyday life, writes Gizmodo.
Clusters of nanoscale transistors, which are extremely sensitive to chemically induced changes in their electrical conductivity upon surface contact, serve directly as the “nose” of the chip ( phys.org)
