ICYMI: MagRay Scanning Technology Could Enhance Airport Security, Benefit Passengers
For most people, the upcoming Labor Day holiday marks the end of summer travel season. But for those already thinking about the headaches involved in air travel for fall and winter vacations, take heart! Thanks to a piece of technology developed at Los Alamos National Lab, one element of the onerous airport security screening process may soon be a thing of the past.
Los Alamos scientists have advanced a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology that may provide a breakthrough for screening liquids at airport security. They've added low-power X-ray data to the mix, and as a result have unlocked a new detection technology. Funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, the new system is named MagRay.
