Trinitite is a glass made during the first nuclear explosion called Trinity, in Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945.
Trinitite is made from the vitrification of the desert sand linked to the different elements of the structure on which the bomb rested and the bomb itself. Recently, researchers discovered that a piece of red Trinitrite took the form of a quasicrystal.
First discovered in the laboratory in the 1980s, quasicrystals also occur in nature, notably in meteorites.
