Seven years after the end of WWII, the US detonated the world's first hydrogen bomb. H-bombs use a combination of nuclear fission and fusion and are far more powerful than atomic bombs. Edward ...

Hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs are both nuclear weapons that can cause mass destruction. Most US nuclear weapons today were made in the 1950s and 1960s and are H-bombs. H-bombs are more powerful, ...

Atomic bombs rely on fission, or atom-splitting, just as nuclear power plants do. The technology of the hydrogen bomb is more sophisticated, and once attained, it is a greater threat.

In order to measure the charge radius of the proton, the researchers use the electronic interactions in a hydrogen atom and take into account the tiniest details of the atomic structure: the ...

The foreign minister of North Korea, Ri Yong Ho, told reporters in New York that this would probably mean the country's strongest hydrogen bomb test over the Pacific. Ri said he did not know what ...

A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, can create explosive force hundreds or even thousands of times greater than an atomic bomb. Here's how the H-bomb contains such massive power.

How powerful are hydrogen bombs? Think of it this way: They use atomic bombs just as a trigger. Atomic weapons like those previously tested by North Korea rely on nuclear fission to release energy ...

Seven years after the end of WWII, the US detonated the world's first hydrogen bomb. H-bombs use a combination of nuclear fission and fusion and are far more powerful than atomic bombs. Edward Teller, ...
