Parent topics
- Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]
- Atomic energy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Nuclear fission [r]: A reaction by which a nucleus of a suitable isotope of an element with a high atomic number splits into two nuclei of lower atomic numbers and one or more neutrons and a relatively large release of energy per atom. [e]
- Nuclear fusion [r]: A process in which small atomic nuclei fuse and release energy. In a hydrogen bomb, fusion of deuterium and tritium (two isotopes of hydrogen) releases four times as much energy as the same mass of uranium in a fission bomb. [e]
- Chain reaction [r]: A term coined by Leo Szilard to describe a cascade of fissioning atomic nuclei, when neutrons released by one atom trigger multiple other atoms to also fission, releasing even more neutrons [e]
