URI Working On New Bomb Sensor

(South Kingstown, RI)  --  The University of Rhode Island is developing new bomb detection technology. The school says the Digital Dog nose, created by chemical engineering professor Otto Gregory, could soon be placed at subway and train stations, airports and shipping ports. Gregory and his students have been working on the project for the last 15 months and completed a prototype last summer which was tested at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, according to a press release. The work is being funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
