When scientists tested the first nuclear explosive in 1945 in New Mexico, the pressure and temperature of the blast created a material we're only starting to understand today.
Edwin L. Aguirre A recent discovery by a research team that includes Kennedy College of Sciences Prof. Nelson Eby is shedding light on the debris created by an atomic blast, and it could set the stage for advances in materials research, including potential applications in energy, health care and nuclear forensics. The team, which also included researchers from the University of Florence in Italy, the California Institute of Technology, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Princeton University and the University of Maryland, discovered a new quasicrystal in a trinitite sample it investigated. â...
'Forbidden' science-defying crystal discovered at New Mexico nuclear bomb site Scientists and geologists have discovered a rare crystal deep in the New Mexico desert where 76 years ago on July 16, 1945 the US Army detonated the first nuclear bomb.

'Science-Defying' Crystal Discovered at the Site of the First Nuclear Bomb Test – Photo Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/science/202105201082949873-science-defying-crystal-discovered-at-the-site-of-the-first-nuclear-bomb-test--photo/ 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...
The blood red quasicrystal is made of calcium, copper, iron, and silicon and its building blocks violate the laws of crystallography, researchers say.
