A Chinese research team has said that they have significantly improved the safety of the world’s most powerful explosive..the CL-20.. by engineering a five-fold boost to its shock resistance capacity. The breakthrough could speed up the large-scale application of the explosive in battle, making Chinese weapons far superior in terms of destructive power. CL-20 is the most deadly non-nuclear explosive in existence. When detonated, it can produce destructive shock waves with blast pressures many times higher than other common explosives like TNT and RDX. The mass production of CL-20 is extremely difficult. China is the only country so far to possess such industrial capability and has used the explosive in some of its newest weapons. China had also tested CL-20’s equivalent back in 2011 and has since made the explosive in large quantities.
