The Center for Materials Sensing and Detection employs a unique combination
of selected technologies to solve to problem of explosives detection
in the environment. Established in 2002 and funded by the Department
of Defense this Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI)
brings together researchers from several divisions of Johns Hopkins,
Stanford University, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and SRI
International.
Four unique program areas address a range of fundamental, technical
issues associated with trace detection of explosive related compounds.
