Remote Bomb Detector Uses Sound To Distinguish Types Of Explosives
News"A new type of bomb detection can sniff out how powerful an explosive is from afar. Devised by researchers at Vanderbilt University, Purdue University and the Colorado School of Mines, it uses a laser vibrometer and a sonic beam to identify how the bomb's casing vibrates. From the patterns of the vibrations, the researchers can tell whether the homemade explosives inside are high-yield or low-yield." -popsci.com
