North Korean Hydrogen-Bomb Explosion Tests Ties With China. Nuclear test is expected to anger Chinese leaders, but a tough response isn’t likely. By . Jeremy Page. in Beijing and . Eva Dou .

Since a nuclear explosion is one of the few proven methods for creating temperatures high enough for hydrogen nuclei to overcome their natural repulsion and ... In a typical hydrogen bomb, ...

WASHINGTON -- The hydrogen super-bomb, capable of destroying whole cities in a flash with blast and fire, has now joined America's arsenal of atomic weapons. That, informed sources said Monday, is ...

Online tool NUKEMAP, hosted by the Stevens Institute of Technology, lets people calculate the blast radii, estimated fatalities, and fallout contours of a hydrogen bomb explosion based on the data ...

Hydrogen bombs cause a bigger explosion, which means the shock waves, blast, heat and radiation all have larger reach than an atomic bomb, according to Edward Morse, a professor of nuclear ...

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 ...

Because E=MC², that leftover mass turns into energy, which fuels the nuclear explosion. Hydrogen atoms are the simplest in nature, which is why they're used for thermonuclear reactions and why ...

Initial reports suggest the North Korean test yielded a 6-kiloton explosion, which would be significantly smaller than a hydrogen bomb would typically produce, said Michaela Dodge, an analyst at ...

To clarify, this is not a thermonuclear bomb (which uses nuclear fusion). Traditional hydrogen bombs work through nuclear fusion, a process where atomic nuclei combine under intense pressure to ...
