Wow, some dudes from Swinburne University developed a technique to analyse samples using conventional cdr's and drives. Effectively making any cdrom drive a spectrometer.

CDs a new weapon against bioterrorism The laser in your CD-drive could be the key to detecting if a substance contains anthrax in under a minute

that is crazy shit, where do they dream this stuff up from?

dude: "man we have to find a way of seeing if this is anthrax or not"
guy: "i know let's put it into the cdrom drive"
dude: "you are a genius"
guy: "i sneezed and now the anthrax is everywhere :("
