Electromagnetic railguns have an advantage over traditional chemical propulsion weapons,
in that the projectile can be accelerated to extremely high speeds and effective damage can …

A powerful yet safe primary explosive, embedded in a conductive carbon scaffold, is
prepared by using a metal-organic framework as precursor. It simultaneously possesses low …

It is highly desired but still remains challenging to design a primary explosive‐based
nanoparticle‐encapsulated conductive skeleton for the development of powerful yet safe …

Reactive multilayer films (RMFs) can be integrated into semiconducting electronic structures
with the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and represent potential …

Exploration of advanced lead-free primary explosives is a challenging issue in the field of
energetic materials. Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel N-rich copper bromate …

Primary explosive, as a reliable initiator for secondary explosives, is the central component
of micro‐initiators for modern aerospace systems and military operations. However, they are …

The paradox between safety and detonation performance, along with the intrinsic fragility of
primary explosives, is the main bottleneck precluding their application in a micro-initiation …

The copper-based azide (CA), as a sustainable alternative to currently-used primary
explosives, will play a critical role in the deployment of miniature initiating systems owing to …

We have developed a new nanothermite based polymeric electro-thermal initiator for non-
contact ignition of a propellant. A reactive Al/CuO multilayer nanothermite resides on a 100 …
