April 19, 2010 (CHICAGO) Investigators say they found 12 sticks of homemade explosives in Marcello DelCarlo's apartment in the 1600-block of West Ogden Sunday.

DelCarlo is listed as an assistant professor in the biochemistry department at Rush. Police say he admitted to making the explosives to use them on the Fourth of July.
