Radio waves rapidly identify non-metallic weapons David Sheen and other researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a safe, fast and effective method for detecting and identifying plastic explosives and other non-metallic weapons. The technology, called active millimeter-wave imaging, relies on high-frequency radio waves to form a high-resolution, three-dimensional image of a person. The images reveal hidden explosives and other weapons based on their shape and reflectivity. (ANYL 318, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 10:10 a.m.)

Tracking down the sources of nuclear material After illicitly trafficked radioactive material is seized, the real investigative work begins for nuclear forensic scientists. These scientists carefully analyze chemical, isotopic and other clues in order to help law enforcement officials nab the culprits and shut down the operation. In many cases, they can determine the intended use, origin, last legal owner and smuggling route of the material. Maria Wallenius of the Institute for Transuranium Elements in Germany describes the achievements and challenges of this new field of investigative research. (ANYL 374, Wednesday, Aug. 31, 8:35 a.m.)
