- Eco-friendly explosives?
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL researchers have added 'green' solvents to an explosive called TATB (1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene). As a result, these explosives may soon get a little greener and a little more precise. As said the project's principal investigator, 'Improving crystal quality and purity leads to explosive materials that are safer...
