Roosevelt that this application of scientific knowledge could lead to Germany's development of an atomic bomb and he urged the United States to begin its own research. His suggestions led to the creation of the Manhattan Project -- and the first two atomic bombs it spawned -- in 1945. ...
Let’s return to the history of atomic weapons. The Little Boy and the Fat Man were atomic bombs, or fission bombs, which set off a chain reaction of nuclear fission. The atomic nuclei of radioactive materials were split to create different elements, which releases a large amount of energy...

The total number of protons and neutrons added together is called the relative atomic mass. Hydrogen has a relative atomic mass of 1, while helium's relative atomic mass is 4 (because there are two protons and two neutrons inside). In other words, an atom of helium is four times heavier...
For reference, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 15 kilotons. This means that some tactical nuclear weapons are capable of causing widespread destruction. Thelargest conventional bomb, the Mother of All Bombs or MOAB, that the U.S. has dropped has an 11-ton (0.011-kiloton) y...

Video: what would happen if a nuclear weapon were detonated in a major city today? Real nuclear bombs On August 6, 1945, during World War II, an American Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber named “Enola Gay” dropped the world’s first deployed atomic bomb codenamed “Little Boy” over the...
“The force that a quake like this releases is about 334 atomic bombs,” geologist Jess Phoenix told CNN. Another seismologist said that the quake was like a “great knife cut into the Earth.” James Jackson, from the University of Cambridge in England, told CNN the earthquake was caused ...
