ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (July 24, 2017) — Army scientists and engineers recently made a discovery. An aluminum nanomaterial of their design produces high amounts of energy when it comes in contact with water, or any liquid containing water.

During routine materials experimentation at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, a team of researchers observed a bubbling reaction when adding water to a nano-galvanic aluminum-based powder.

“We all as a team were very excited and ecstatic that something good had happened,” said Dr. Anit Giri, a physicist with the lab’s Weapons and Materials Research Directorate.
