A laser beam which vibrates the molecules could help to detect improvised explosive devices, the researchers say.
Each molecule vibrates with a single frequency - so that the laser can "feel" the bombs during the mass digitization of a safe distance.
The team's work at Michigan State University, is another attempt to reduce the number of deaths caused by bombs in places like Afghanistan.
The research appears in the journal Applied charts.
Improvised explosive device a homemade bomb and more than half of the deaths of coalition soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan is the result of an IED.
The lead developer of the laser sensor, Dr. Marcos said Dantus IED detection have always been a challenge because the environment of compounds that mask the molecules bomb.
