Abstract
A network of chemical threats: Current regulatory protocols are insufficient to monitor and block many short‐route syntheses of chemical weapons, including those that start from household products. Network searches combined with game‐theory algorithms provide an effective means of identifying and eliminating chemical threats. (Picture: an algorithm‐detected pathway that yields sarin (bright red node) in three steps from unregulated substances.)
