Summary

Story summary

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a Request for Information to explore ghost imaging for detecting hidden nuclear materials at a distance, with proposals due by December 8, 2025.
Ghost imaging uses particle correlations to enable safer, non-invasive detection without radiation exposure.
DARPA seeks proposals that advance correlated-particle generation and new detection technologies.
The initiative aims to turn concepts into practical national security tools.
