Tunnel junction sensing of TATP explosive at the single-molecule level Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) is a highly potent homemade explosive commonly used in terrorist attacks. Its detection poses a significant challenge due to its volatility, and the lack of portability of current sensing techniques. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach based on single-molecule TATP detection in the air using a device where tunneling current in N-terminated carbon-nanotubes nanogaps is measured.

A: Well, acting wasn’t something that I sought out– it kind of fell in my lap, and I’m so glad that it did. I was 11 years old when I started acting but prior to that I was a dancer. My dance studio was offering acting classes, so I took a drop-in class and met my manager who was the teacher.

Tell us about your newly released singles “Boys Like You” and “Amateur”. What inspired your new alternative-pop sound? Both “Boys Like You” and “Amateur” stem from experiences of past relationships that I was in and my feelings at the time. I actually started creating more alternative music in the very beginning of my career but I never released any of it. I always gravitated towards the more edgy sounds, but I also love deep house.
