Little to do with IT but interesting

This article about ‘green explosives‘ caught my eye. The author takes a sideways look at the issue noting that:
If you’re worried about the environment but still need to blow people up, a new class of nitrogen-based bomb materials is for you. Popular explosives like TNT and HMX react to form nitrogen oxides when detonated, the major culprits behind smog and acid rain. This is a big no-no if you’re the type of warmonger who drives a hybrid tank, obviously, so weapons experts at the University of Munich devised an alternatives that are cleaner, more stable, and even more powerful than those other explosives.
Apparently an alternative use would be as rocket fuel.
