Good Evening Dr HMX.

Serious congratulations. I'm jealous, I have to wait one more year. :)

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Congrats.  I'm jealous too.  I have to umm... 'regrow' some brain cells that I sacrificed during my college years, pay back the money I owe on my loans, find some time to take grad courses, and find the money to take grad courses and I'll be right there with ya!   ;) ;D

(And looking through our posts on this board, I just thought that if Limpet, HMX and myself ever got together in a wide open field in the middle of nowhere, some seriously loud chemistry experiments would take place that would result in many particles of earth winding up in outer space.  ;D )

Thank you all for your congrats.  I'm happy, and just returned from a few days of vacation, so I'm refreshed.  

My field is organic chem.  Specifically energetic materials, hence why I don't post any details or discuss much of them on the forums.  However, my undergrad focus was inorganic chem.  It's a hard road to walk when you change foci between undergrad and grad school.  I would not recommend it.

Nope.  Fuel cells aren't considered energetic materials.  The terms 'energetic materials' and 'high energy-density' are simply euphamisms for things that go boom.
