The H-Bomb
The thermonuclear bomb or the hydrogen bomb was a bomb developed in 1952, we still use it today. Basically, h-bombs use nuclear fusion, which is different from the fission that the previous atomic bombs used. The way that and h-bomb releases energy is that hydrogen isotopes are squeezed together under high temperatures and pressure in order to fuse into helium, which creates a release of energy, heat, and neutrons.
