Telerobots dust for fingerprints with Superglue

Researchers at the University of Calgary have built a tele-operated fingerprinting system for bomb disposal robots. Typically, the only way to grab prints from an explosive device after a 'bot blows it up is to search through the detritus. The new system sprays a jet of superglue fumes at the supsicious package. According to a New Scientist article, "the superglue vapour reacts with the organic fingerprint deposits to form a conspicuous white polymer" that can be photographed using the remote camera before the bomb, and often the robot, are blown to bits.
