Nuclear Energy
On March 1, 1954, the United States exploded a fusion bomb with a power of 15 megatons. It created a glowing fireball, more than 4.8 km (more than 3 mi) in diameter, and a huge mushroom cloud, which quickly rose into the stratosphere. The March 1954...

Babies Recognize Faces Better Than Adults, Study Says
Adults, Study Says Hillary Mayell for National Geographic News May 22, 2005 Human babies start out with the ability to recognize a wide range of faces, even among races or species different from their own, according to a new study. The re...
Cold Fusion
Introduction The central claim of cold fusion adherents is that a nuclear reaction (fusion of deuterium) can be initiated and maintained in an electrochemical apparatus not much different from the setup used to demonstrate the breakdown of wat...

continue to look for ways to control and sustain fusion reac tions, a potential source for a nearly inexhaustible supply of energy. 2. f. * Students know the evidence indicating that the color, brightness, and evolution of a star are determined by a balance between gravitational collapse and nuclear fusion. A major concept in science is that temperature is a measure of the underlying energy of motion of a system. Furthermore, thermal energy can be radiated away into space as electromagnetic radiation.
