A chemical sensor prototype was developed that can detect single-fingerprint quantities of substances from a distance of more than 100 feet away, and could be shrunk to the size of a shoebox. The portable infrared chemical sensor could be mounted on a drone or carried by users such as doctors, police, border officials, and soldiers.
