Factoid 1: Energy Density A kilogram of coal can run a 100W lightbulb for about 4 days while a kilogram of natural uranium can run it for 182 years! If you enrich uranium up to weapons grade, a kilogram can then run the lightbulb for over 24,000 years! Put in better perspective, that...
the main obstacle was the belief that the electrons of the atom would inevitably fall into the nucleus because of the loss of energy to electromagnetic radiation in the course of their orbital motion about the nucleus. N. Bohr’s famous work (1913) that laid the basis for the quantum theory...

“lost” cities of gold. The first third of his book, Douglas Preston recounts an amazing group of, generally, con-artists claiming to have found the Monkey God City in an inaccessible jungle, and would rich donors just give them more money to prove it. These characters make for fun ...
Frederick Soddy, a well known physicist from around the turn of the last century, said this in 1909. "I believe that there have been civilizations in the past that were familiar with atomic energy, and that by misusing it they were totally destroyed." ...

Nuclear power has been an important part in China's national energy strategy due to its safety, reliability characteristics and strong supply capacity. Furthermore, nuclear power as a clean energy source does not emit SO2, NOx and greenhouse gases. However, it should be noted that nuclear waste...
So the Department of Energy vacated the Oppenheimer decision, but didn’t quite vindicate it. This is what I meant when I told William Broad that I didn’t think this went quite as far as the real pro-Oppenheimer people might want — it doesn’t say, for example, that Oppenheimer deserv...
