In this Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016 photo, University of Rhode Island engineering professor Otto Gregory is reflected in a silicon wafer that contains sensors to detect explosives, in front of a thin film surface analyzer in a laboratory on the school's campus, in Kingston, R.I. He has developed a sensor that detects the explosive used in the Paris bombings, to try to stop future attacks. Gregory compares his sensor to a dog’s nose, the gold standard in explosives detection. It 'sniffs' the air for vapors emitted from explosives.

This illustration depicts a possible configuration for the combined system proposed by MIT researchers. At the bottom, steam (pink arrows) passes through pulverized coal, releasing gaseous fuel (red arrows) made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This fuel goes into a solid oxide fuel cell (disks near top), where it reacts with oxygen from the air (blue arrows) to produce electricity (loop at right).
