The H-bomb, or hydrogen bomb, is far more powerful and deadly than the [[atomic bomb]] that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II.

Developed first by the United States and proven with a massive detonation in 1952, the H-bomb consists of the release of massive energy when hydrogen atoms are fused together at very high temperature and pressure to form helium nuclei.  The scientists instrumental in its development were Hungarian immigrant [[Edward Teller]] and Polish mathematician [[Stanislaw Ulam]].  The Soviet Union later developed a similar bomb independently, and its scientists claimed to have invented it independently of the American bomb.
