  • For a way to verify that a warhead marked for destruction is real without spilling a state's secrets, Alexander Glaser of Princeton University and his colleagues turned to a mathematical method that can prove something is true without revealing why it's true. Glaser's team has used simulations to show that preloading the detector with an inverse pattern of bubbles and then carrying out the scan would prevent this disclosure. They say that carrying out the same scan on two identical missiles would count as evidence that the stored missile is genuine, since a government is unlikely to deploy fake warheads.
