It's for real: Defense contractors are harnessing the strange alchemy of reactive materials (RMs) � in which two or more inert materials are mixed to create an explosion � to develop smaller, more lethal warheads, as well as new ways to protect troops against mortar rounds and rocket-propelled grenades.
