What Is A Hydrogen Bomb? The Science Behind The World’s Most Powerful Weapon
What exactly is a hydrogen bomb, the most destructive weapon ever built? Unlike the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which relied on the fission of heavy elements like uranium and plutonium, a hydrogen bomb unleashes its fury through a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Fission provides the spark, generating immense heat and pressure, under which isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium fuse tog

Are U.S. allies losing faith in nuclear protection? The risks of a third nuclear age
In 1961, the president of France posed a hard question to the US president: Would the United States really risk its own destruction to protect its allies in Europe from a nuclear strike? The inquiry was rooted in skepticism that the US would ever trade one of its cities for the defense of a partner nation. Not reassured, France had already taken matters into its own hands by conducting its first nuclear weapons test the previous year, thus ensuring a measure of strategic independence.
