Nuclear Weapon Detector

This kind of science is so cool. By tracking muons, scientists can detect the heavy nuclei of plutonium or uranium, making the threat of nuclear terrorism a bit easier to combat. Still no word on projected fields which would manipulate the strong and/or weak force of the nuclei in nuclear material, thereby exciting or dampening a nuclear weapon as a situation demanded. Still science fiction - for now.
