Discovery of New Molecule Could Lead to More Efficient Rocket Fuel
2010-12-24
Trinitramid is the name of the new molecule that may be a component in future rocket fuel. This fuel could be 20 to 30 percent more efficient in comparison with the best rocket fuels available today, according to researchers. The discovery was made at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden.

"A rule of thumb is that for every ten-percent increase in efficiency for rocket fuel, the payload of the rocket can double."
And very suddenly, the world changed. This could be very good, or very bad, or both. Military apps too numerous to list.
