Small sensors can detect traces of explosives, using bee venomscientist have tried previously to engineer plants to detect bombs
and environmental contaminants and have created even a better artificial nose to sniff out explosives, but it looks like researchers are finally zeroing in on the smallest possible detection system ever:
identifying if a single molecule of explosive is present. MIT researchers created a carbon nanotube with a bee venom-based sensor,
designed to detect traces of explosives. If commercialized, it could one day improve the security at airports
and other checkpoint areas or be used to monitor the environment. Scientists showed for the first time that these peptides can react to explosives
when the bee venom peptides target molecules found in explosives. Since the proteins reacted differently,
depending on the types of molecules found in explosives, the scientists identified a finger print that is unique for each of the explosive chemicals they exposed it to,
including pesticides. MIT professor Michael Strano said in a statement: â Å Compounds such as TNT decompose in the environment,
creating other molecule types, and those derivatives could also be identified with this type of sensor.
they would be more sensitive than the spectrometry-based systems that are used currently to detect explosives in the air.
