Chemists Create Next-Gen Rocket Fuel Compound That Packs 150% More Energy

UAlbany chemists created manganese diboride, a high-energy material with potential for rocket fuel and new technologies. Chemists at the University at Albany have developed a high-energy compound that could transform rocket fuel and make space travel more efficient. When ignited, this compound produces significantly more energy per unit of weight and volume than current propellants. [...]
