Part 3/7:
The researchers explore the concept of nanothermite—a sophisticated variant of traditional thermite, which reportedly has explosive capability. In 2009, a groundbreaking paper indicated the presence of unexploded nanothermite materials in the dust sampled from the World Trade Center site. The challenge posed by Dr. Hightower is to find peer-reviewed scientific research demonstrating that a specific type of gas-generating nanothermite can achieve significant detonation velocities.
