Unfortunately, some explosives are easier to detect than others and sniffing out the highly explosive PETN has, until now, been a time-consuming and expensive process. To reliably detect just a few small molecules of this material requires cutting-edge trace detector technology based on nanotubes. Working on his doctorate under Professor Wolfgang Ensinger, Head of the Materials Analytics Working Group at the Technical University in Darmstadt in Germany, Mario Boehme has developed an extremely sensitive sensor to do just that.
