Breakthrough on explosive detection

ILLEGAL and dangerous items, such as explosives, could be detected with 100% efficiency, using artificial intelligence (AI) and a new X-ray approach by UK academics. Some explosives can be difficult to spot with a conventional X-ray alone, and the new method could revolutionise how illicit products such as drugs, illegal wildlife and explosives are detected. Researchers at University College London say their findings may have significant implications for the security sector, and also have the potential to support healthcare and industry.
