It does prove that bubbles pop really quickly I thought it was interesting to compare the soap bubbles to bursting balloons from *related=http://videosift.com/video/Hydrogen-Explosions-Slow-Motion-Periodic-Table-of-Videos

With some effort you could calculate whether the collapse would still be faster than a bullet fired from a gun, my thought is that it probably wouldn't be since the slowly falling one made it almost half way down before the collapse was complete.

Whats its application?


Many new reactors are experimenting with new fuel types. This has a higher fissile density because of the structure, so you can pack more fuel into a given space, it also has better thermal transfer and less susceptible to radiation damage that traditional uranium oxide. Hyperion Power Generation plans to use a uranium nitride compound in their Gen4 reactor. Gen4 reactors are a whole new breed of reactor, the infusion of modern computer modeling and materials development. While we still have a shitty regulatory system in the US as to not allow newer safer reactors to come online here, they will be launching in places like China, the UAE, and Korea in the future. America is poised to fall behind in the technology it invented, as it has with many other areas that aren't wall street or the technology sector.

My highschool chemistry tells me that nitrating stuff is often done to make it explosive so from that weapons.

In reality though I'd guess they probably don't really know. I think most of the time when new compounds are made they are only guessing at the properties and don't really know what they have until they already have made it and tested to see how it acts.

Oops, I wasn't being too haughty I hope :

I have a tendency to ramble on subjects that fascinate me, and sometimes it comes off bad.
