hydrogen bomb

A hydrogen bomb, or thermonuclear bomb, is a powerful explosive that uses nuclear fusion—the same process that powers the sun—to release enormous energy. It combines isotopes of hydrogen (like deuterium and tritium) under extremely high temperatures and pressures created by a fission bomb's initial explosion. This fusion reaction releases a massive amount of energy in the form of blast, heat, and radiation, making hydrogen bombs significantly more destructive than traditional atomic bombs. They are complex devices, designed for military use, and symbolize highly advanced nuclear weapons technology.
