In this study, the nanotubes were linked to a protein that specifically binds to nitroaromatics, which are reactive chemicals used in landmines and other explosives.

在这项研究中，纳米管与一种与硝基芳烃特异性结合的蛋白质相连， 硝基芳烃是用于地雷和其他炸药的活性化学物质。

That way, a nearby infrared camera could detect extra infrared signaling because of nitroaromatics, and tell a computer to send a " WARNING: there are explosives nearby" e-mail report.

这样一来，附近的红外摄像机就可以检测到由于硝基芳烃而产生的额外红外信号， 并告诉计算机发送“ 警告： 附近有爆炸物” 电子邮件报告。
