How To Control Thermite Pyrotechnics with 3D Printing


How To Control Thermite Pyrotechnics with 3D Printing


Thermites are a class of materials known for producing dazzling pyrotechnic displays in high school chemistry classes, and they’re used in all kinds of real-world applications. But these reactions are very unpredictable, releasing a lot of energy all willy-nilly. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have figured out how to use 3D printing to exert more precise control over such materials, describing their work in a new paper in Advanced Materials.


“The big message here is…
