Sprengstoff: Die Wissenschaft vom großen Knall

SINOPSIS

The field of application of explosives is immense. In the United States, researchers are using explosives to create nanoparticles: extremely hard, heat-resistant and excellent conductors of electricity, they can be used to manufacture more efficient electronic components, with the hope of considerably reducing battery charging time. These super-materials can only be formed by the high pressure and temperatures generated during detonation. In the field of medicine, some scientists hope to soon replace syringes and needles with a dedicated gun. Because explosives are capable of releasing a considerable amount of energy in just a fraction of a second.
