The authors then subjected the iron-rich microspherical residue of the red-gray chips to X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) to compare it with the profile of microspherical residue from known thermite combustions and found them to be virtually identical.

So - what are the red-gray chips, then? by Better World Order on Friday, Apr 17, 2009 at 1: 20: 07 AM

Was it Nanotech-Thermite or Phasers that took down the WTC? 2009

That the energy density of the red-gray chips exceeded the energy density of conventional thermite was especially striking because only the red side of the chip contained the thermitic materials; the gray material was essentially inert and did not contribute to the energy density, but diminished it.

This finding was one amongst many results that lead the authors to conclude that the red-gray chips probably contained nano-thermite, a kind of "super" thermite with ultra-fine particles of aluminum and iron-oxide.

The energy density of the red-gray chips exceeds that of standard explosives like HMX and TNT.

To confirm this finding, the authors measured the energy density of the red-gray chips – the amount of energy generated per gram of material – and compared it to the energy density of a variety of explosives and incendiaries, including conventional thermite.

Just to make things clear, iron melts at 2,800 Fahrenheit, about 1538 oC, so the red-gray chips – as the paper itself makes abundantly clear – generated intense temperatures and are a manufactured incendiary (with explosive potential).

These red-gray chips were put in a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), a device that slowly heats the chips and measures how much energy the chips emit or absorb at a given temperature.
