A newly discovered quasicrystal that was created by the first nuclear explosion at Trinity Site, N.M., on July 16, 1945, could someday help scientists better understand illicit nuclear explosions and curb nuclear proliferation. The newly discovered material was formed accidentally in the blast of the first atomic bomb test, which resulted in the fusion of surrounding sand, the test tower, and copper transmission lines into a glassy material known as trinitite.

On 26 July 1945, the world was ushered into the so-called Atomic Age after the US detonated the first nuclear bomb nicknamed Gadget . The explosion was so powerful that it resulted in the fusion of sand and metal, leading to the creation of a glassy material called trinitite. Seventy-six years after the explosion another surprise has popped up.
An international group of scientists from Italy and the United States have discovered a science-defying crystal at the site of the first nuclear bomb test in the Jornada del Muerto desert. According to the results of their study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the unique find is a quasicrystal, a material previously discovered in meteorites.
The world had never seen so much destructive power.
And 75 years later, we’re still finding surprises amid the debris of that first nuclear blast, the Trinity test.
