https://media.ccc.de/v/2018-156-was-i... Explosives were and are a current topic in the community, and a little background knowledge can't hurt. In this respect, a chemical approach to the topic with science is very helpful. In times when simple chemical formulas (H2O2!, CO2!, NaHCO3!) already evoke a certain threat, fear and, in combination with models from a 3D printer, lead to the suspicion of causing an explosive explosion, chemical background knowledge and fact-based information about what is behind these ominous substances are few and far between. What are explosives actually? Is everything that can theoretically explode just there to explode? What is the use of explosives anyway? Can explosives already be printed directly from a 3D printer? And finally, and particularly controversial: How dangerous are models of an atomic bomb and can they really cause an explosion or even a nuclear attack? Everything that people have ever wanted to know or not know about explosives, brought together in a short talk that makes no guarantee of completeness, but tries to give a rough, chemical overview of the topic.
