Ionic Polymers as a New Structural Motif for High-Energy-Density Materials

'We wanted to make an optically activated material,' explains Hope-Weeks, 'so that if, for example, a bomb squad want to blow up a car they suspect has a terrorist device inside, they would have something they could remotely place under the car and then activate it with a laser, rather than someone having to go in there and wire it up.'

Hoo boy, it would seem safer to have something with a string you could pull. Granted not likely someone's going to be playing around with a laser pointer there, but still....

I hope their green explosives work better than Diamond green-headed Green Strike Anywhere kitchen matches. They suck. One out of three just fizzle without ever creating a flame and that’s striking them on the box.
