Telle quelle la nitroglycérine se prête mal à l'emploi comme explosif. En 1866, Nobel découvre qu'en incorporant 75 % de nitroglycérine à 25 % d’une terre absorbante, le kieselguhr, on obtient une matière pulvérulente, facile à encartoucher et convenant aux travaux de mine; il nomma cette matière "dynamite"; par la suite, l'acception de ce mot s’est étendue à tout explosif à base de nitroglycérine. 2, record 1, French, - dynamite

Powder explosives. These explosives contain still smaller quantities of liquid products, compared with plastic and semi-plastic explosives, so that the spaces between the solid particles are not filled out entirely. As the result of this the density of the mass is 20 to 40 percent lower than that of plastic and semi-plastic explosives. 1, record 2, English, - powder%20explosive
