The new explosives without nitrogen are remarkable chemical advancements.

"Skoltech researchers have identified over 220 carbon-oxygen compounds, many previously unknown, with some showing explosive energy close to that of TNT, despite lacking nitrogen. Their findings on oxocarbons open up new possibilities for space exploration, advanced batteries, and energetic materials, challenging conventional chemistry and expanding the understanding of molecular diversity.

The idea of the new explosives is that there are lots of carbon atoms that will combine with oxygen atoms. That releases 75% more energy than TNT. The RDX gives 50% more energy than TNT. The research published by Russian researchers and ScitechDaily, and the risk that this technology causes is that those new carbon-oxygen chains will pass the explosive detector. Those molecules are like "frozen, nano-size powder explosions". 

In normal, explosives, like TNT,  nitrogen acts as a catalysator. The nitrogen ion in potassium nitrate makes black powder explode. All known explosives involve nitrogen. And the bomb detectors smell nitrogen ions from the air. But when we think about explosions. We must realize that. Explosion is only fast-burning. Another way to make an explosion is to increase the layer's size, where the material combines with oxygen. In aerosol bombs and combustion engines, the fuel-aerosol and oxygen combine.

The molecular structures of those new potential explosive molecules tell us that it's possible to create explosive graphene. There between those carbon atoms are oxygen atoms. So if every second of those atoms is carbon and every second is oxygen. That means that the maximum number of carbon atoms join to oxygen at the same time. It is also possible to make the explosive "hamburger" two graphene layers there is a 2D oxygen layer between those carbon layers. 

The reason why that burning turns into an explosion is that all droplets are surrounded by the air. Same way sometimes things like regular baking flour detonate. The baking flour dust takes fire. And then the air. That surrounds every single particle in that dust will start to burn them. The fast combination with air makes that normally harmless dust the explosive material. 

The long carbon chain where oxygen and carbon atoms in rows like oxygen and carbon are one after one can make a very strong explosion. The idea is that the carbon and oxygen alternating in the chain. The explosion happens when large numbers of carbon atoms make a connection with oxygen atoms. 

So what if we can make molecules like fullerene where there are oxygen atoms between carbon atoms? In that ball-shaped carbon-oxygen "fullerene" is carbon. And oxygen atoms side by side. When carbon and oxygen combine to make a chemical compound. 

They form carbon monoxide or dioxide. That reaction happens in a large area if we compare that reaction area to molecule size. So large numbers of carbon and oxygen combine with each other at the same time. That causes the same situation as in an aerosol bomb but in a solid structure.

New innovative microchips can reprogram living tissue. And that kind of thing can use in many ways.

New innovative microchips can reprogram living tissue. And that kind of thing can use in many ways. 




TNT (Tissue Nano-Transfection)(1) technology allows changing the DNA at the nucleus of the cell. The DNA molecule acts as a chemical computer program. Chancing that molecule changes the purpose of the cell. And if we would want to clone neurons. The thing that must be done is to replace the DNA of some other cell by using the DNA of the neurons. There is needed only one neuron. And then the DNA of that cell can multiply by using the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) method(2). 

 That system can transform the cells of the person to another purpose. And that thing can be the holy grail of the medical industry. The ability to reprogram the cells makes it possible to make the human body to forming some medical chemicals in its cells. That thing can make the new era for fighting against micro-organisms and diseases. 

Tissue Nano-Transfection technology changes the purpose of the own cells of the person. To another purpose. The system benefits the skin cells and the idea is that the system will pull skin cells to microchips and then transfer the genetic code of those cells. That kind of thing can use to create blood, anti-cancer, or even neurons. 

If that thing will be successful. This kind of microchip can use to fix even large brain damages. Reprogramming tissue means that the DNA molecule in the cells will change. And that thing opens the new ways to give cure for the people. 

Reprogramming tissue means that the purpose of the cells is transformed to another. And that kind of system which reprograms cells can be used to make many things like giving cure for cancer. The idea is that the cancer cells would just reprogram. And then they would turn to useful cells. This kind of technology can use in cases of massive injuries. The cancer cells or cells of some other person will transfer to the place where the tissue is injured. And then the microchip just reprograms those cells. 

If that thing is possible. There is the possibility to make the tissue transfer between people. Whose tissue types are not matching. And then every people on earth would always have blood and other tissues. That fits them. Reprogramming cells is also allowing the create synthetic stem cells and other things for the service of humanity. 

The misuse of that technology is also very dangerous. The system can change the genetic code of the cells of humans. And that thing can use to fool the DNA-based identifying tests.
