Move over bomb-sniffing dogs. Here comes Benjamin Clough. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute doctoral student just received $30,000 for developing a safer way for police, military and bomb squads to detect hidden explosives and other dangerous chemicals using sound waves.
He has been working in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering to improve security technology where he has developed a method for extending the distance that sound waves and terahertz technology can detect explosives, chemicals, and dangerous materials.
His technology has been demonstrated to work from a distance of several meters.
