What do explosives and cancer have in common? Thanks to work under the ACID project, the answer has become a little less straightforward than you think. The project’s detection device is capable of detecting vapours emitted by both with unmatched precision, and it never gets tired.
ACID aimed at the development of instrumentation for the detection of vapours in real time and with high sensitivity. More specifically, it ambitioned to enable researchers to transform their existing mass spectrometers into efficient detectors by using ionization sources add-ons.
