Nanotubes and Nitro…
Topics: Carbon Nanotubes, Materials Science, Nanotechnology From TNT to nitro-glycerine, nitrogen-rich compounds are known for packing an explosive punch. When these materials explode, bonds between atoms in the compounds are broken, which gives a chance for two nitrogen atoms to form very strong triple bonds with each other. This releases an enormous amount of chemicalContinue reading “Nanotubes and Nitro…”
