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, ...

North Korea warned this week that it might test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean, after saying the country had already successfully detonated one. A hydrogen bomb has never been used in battle by ...

Niels Bohr's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. This ...

Almost a century after metallic hydrogen was introduced as a theory, Harvard scientists succeeded in finally bringing it to reality. Atomic metallic hydrogen, one of the rarest and most valuable ...

Even though quantum computers are still in their crawling phase, computer scientists continue to push their limits. Recently, a group of scientists used a two-qubit quantum system to model the ...

Achieved the first spectroscopic observation of hydrogen (H 2) and deuterium (D 2) molecules physically adsorbed within an atomic-scale space known as a picocavity. Employed picometric ...

Nearly a century after it was theorized, scientists have succeeded in creating metallic hydrogen. In addition to helping scientists answer fundamental questions about the nature of matter, the ...

Nearly a century after it was theorized, Harvard scientists have succeeded in creating the rarest - and potentially one of the most valuable - materials on the planet. The material - atomic metallic ...
