'''Gunpowder''' is one of man's most significant [[invention]]s. It is a chemical mixture which burns extremely rapidly, and was used as a propellant in early [[small arms]] and [[cannon]]s. Experiments to improve the effectiveness and safety were some of the first true [[chemistry]] in the modern sense of the word. Formerly most (al)chemical experiments were obsessed with pursuing [[mysticism|mystical]] and [[occult]] goals such as eternal life.
Gunpowder is no longer used in weapons, but remains in use in [[fireworks]] and [[special effects]].
