Chinese scientists may have tested a hydrogen-based explosive device, triggering massive chemical chain reactions without using any nuclear materials, SCMP reported, citing a study published last month.
According to the research paper, the chain reaction produced a fireball exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius lasting more than two seconds.
The device was reportedly built by China State Shipbuilding Corporationβs (CSSC) 705 Research Institute. The SCMP report said that the device used βa magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage material.β

A new hydrogen-based explosive using magnesium hydride creates a 1,000Β°C fireball lasting 15x longer than TNT β without nuclear material.
High potential for precision military strikes.#China #HydrogenExplosive⦠pic.twitter.com/vUP0J8pm8D
