dotpaw - The Atomic Bomb and Nuclear Power
The concept of an atomic bomb, also known as a nuclear bomb, was conceived in the early 20th century. The theoretical foundations for nuclear fission, the process that powers atomic bombs, were established by physicists such as Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi in the 1930s.
Atomic energy, also known as nuclear energy, is the energy released from the nucleus of an atom. It is harnessed through a process called nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
