North Korea is threatening to test a hydrogen bomb, a weapon more powerful than the atomic bombs that devastated the Japanese cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II. Here's how they differ.
Abundant energy: Fusing atoms together in a controlled way releases nearly four million times more energy than a chemical reaction such as the burning of coal, oil or gas and four times as much as nuclear fission reactions (at equal mass). Is a hydrogen bomb stronger than a nuke? hydrogen...
In addition, we analyzed whether irbesartan inhibited MCP-1 production and adiponectin secretion from cells independent of the AT1 receptor, and whether these effects were directly mediated by nuclear factor- kappa B (NF-kB) and PPAR-g. These experiments address the molecular mechanisms that may ...
In an inertial confinement fusion reactor a giant laser shoots a hydrogen pellet in the hopes of creating fusion but in this case sustainability becomes an issue because essentially explosion after explosion must be maintained. With nuclear fission, already unstable isotopes of both uranium and plutoni...
