Australian technology to aid landmine clearing efforts

STORY: Australian technology to aid landmine clearing efforts DATELINE: April 5, 2023 LENGTH: 00:01:00 LOCATION: Canberra CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of demonstration of the new Australian detection technology to help with landmine-clearing efforts STORYLINE: Australia's national science agency has developed new technology to help global landmine-clearing efforts. The new detection technology, revealed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to coincide with International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action on Tuesday, uses magnetic resonance technology capable of detecting the molecular signature of explosives used in landmines. It is more reliable than metal detectors currently used to detect landmines as well as being cost-effective. The CSIRO has established a new company, MRead, to develop the technology into hand-held detectors. "The precision of this technology will be a game-changer for landmine-clearing efforts, delivering a so
