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.

One of the most dangerous places on Earth: "The Strid" (Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire England)

One of the most dangerous places on Earth places on Great Britain, and it's called "The Strid". That place is actually a river, what seems quite calm, but it's the place, where nobody ever came up alive. "The Strid" or officially Bolton Abbey is a place, where is something, what kills people.


And in some rumors, there is some kind of sea anemones, that would cause the death of the people in this place. In this theory, those little sea anemones are living on the rocks at the bottom of the river. And when the swimmer would be thrown to the rocks the sea anemones would burn that poor person to death.


This happens also in the air, and when the sweat or other damp would face carbon dioxide, the carbonic acid is forming. And if the concentration of that chemical is high enough, that would cause bad injuries, even the person uses gas masks. And  that acid can burn lungs and cause death, even if the person could be rescued from that kind of places


But there is no sign about this strange phenomenon, and there is another explanation, what is conducting with the bubbles, what is rising to the surface of the river. The carbon dioxide can cause death in the very high concentration in the air. But in the water, the carbon dioxide is forming the carbonic acid, what is used in lemonades. If the concentration of this acid rises too high, it would burn the skin and cause death.


Another way is that there would be sulfur in the rocks. If the sulfur is concentrating with water, it would form sulfurous acid ( chemical formula H^2SO^3), what is the very corrosive chemical combination. And maybe this causes that the water would be extremely acid. Maybe some of those explanations are the thing, what causes that "The Strid" is the most dangerous places on Earth.
