Nuclear World If a nuclear bomb was dropped on your city‚ how would you survive? The blast from the fission bomb on Hiroshima‚ which weighed 30 kilotons‚ was equivalent to 12‚500 tons of TNT. Now‚ if this was dropped right outside your house‚ there would be no way of survival. But‚ one megaton hydrogen bomb is said to have 80 times the explosive intensity of the fission bomb detonated in 1945. The destructive force of the hydrogen bomb is near unimaginable. But first‚ let’s take a

Fusion as a future energy source Creating Nuclear Fusion could be a break through in finding an alternative source of energy. As of today we do not have the technology to make a nuclear fusion reactor‚ but we could be relying on them for power sometime in the next 30 to 40 years. Nuclear Fusion is created by forcing deuterium (D) and tritium (T) together‚ when forced together their nuclei fuse and then break apart to form a helium nucleus and an uncharged neutron. Most of the excess energy

Last week‚ I noticed that my son had a bad cold. I took him to the pediatrician‚ and she told me he had an infection. Then she gave me a prescription for antibiotics. After two days‚ my son was happy and healthy thanks to this important medicine. Every day doctors prescribe antibiotics to help thousands of patients around the world fight infections. I do not like to think about what might happen if we did not have antibiotics. Antibiotics are one of the greatest medical inventions in human

n a way‚ personalized medicine has been around for as long as people have been practicing medicine. In fact‚ Hippocrates‚ Greek physician and so-called "Father of Western Medicine" who practiced some 2‚500 years ago‚ was himself a proponent of personalized medicine (Sykiotis et al.‚ 2005). For example‚ in one of his over 70 works of ideas and teachings‚ Hippocrates wrote about the individuality of disease and the necessity of giving "different [drugs] to different patients‚ for the sweet ones do

Nuclear Radiation There are many ways that the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" are similar. "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction story that deals with nuclear radiation and what the future world would be like if there was an atomic bomb. This short story is a good example of what could happen in the future. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a movie that also has the same genre‚ that it is science fiction. It helps

In spring of 1989‚ two scientists by the name of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann announced that they had found a way to create nuclear fusion in a relatively simple and cheap way. Superhot fusion is the process in which deuterium‚ a heavier form of hydrogen‚ is held within a magnetic field and heated to tens of millions of degrees. The nuclei of the atoms fuse‚ and heat energy is released. This kind of fusion happens in our solar system’s sun. This type of fusion is known to occur‚ but recreating

Euthanasia Thesis Statement Euthanasia is a compassionate way to bring an end to the life of an individual. Euthanasia has become a problem in the world due to increase in its awful standing courtesy of pessimistic media. The governments need to carefully re-evaluate their policies and show its positive features to the world. Euthanasia can not be associated with killing as it is done upon the wish of an individual who requests for his death to be in less or no pain. Introduction Euthanasia is

Nuclear Power Nuclear power was discovered in early 20th century. In 1938‚ the first fission proved the great power of nuclear reactions. Only a few years after that‚ as the first nuclear bomb went off‚ nuclear power was successfully used by human. But ironically‚ that way is one of the most dangerous ways against human race. Nuclear power is one of the most powerful and dangerous energy sources in the human history. As the science and technology become better and better‚ nuclear power could also
