			When [[beta carbon nitride]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_carbon_nitride Wikipedia]) (which's properties are not well known yet) is used as structural material this mass roughly doubles since four thirds of the used atoms are nitrogen that on its own would not be usable.
			While probably not explosive this material might still pose a higher fire hazard than pure carbon due to its higher energy content.
