The US military is reportedly working on electronics that could be vaporized on command.

The BAE Systems Advanced Technologies has been awarded a 4.5 million dollars contract to create a host of futuristic gadgets that could potentially provide a solution to loss of sensitive tech on the battlefield.

According to Washington Times, the agency has argued that when sensitive technology gets lost on the battlefield, it's only a matter of time it lands in the enemy's hands.

The agency, therefore, hopes to develop electronics that are capable of 'physically disappearing in a controlled, triggerable manner'.
