In an implosion-type nuclear weapon design, a sphere of plutonium, uranium, or other fissile material is imploded by a spherical arrangement of explosive charges. This decreases the material's volume and thus increases its density by a factor of two to three, causing it to reach critical mass and create a nuclear explosion.
Explosion of unserviceable ammunition and other military items The explosion of the Castle Bravo nuclear bomb.. An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases.
AfE-Turm building demolition slow motion video Implosion of the Athlone Power Station cooling towers Blasting of a highway bridge in Aachen, Germany. In the controlled demolition industry, building implosion is the strategic placing of explosive material and timing of its detonation so that a structure collapses on itself in a matter of seconds, minimizing the physical damage to its immediate ...
Since 2023, seven babies in the neonatal intensive care unit of a Richmond hospital have suffered unexplained fractures and other injuries. Police last week arrested former nurse Erin Elizabeth ...
The events of the last few weeks are enough to give you emotional whiplash: In between Ukraine and the pandemic, we’ve been pummeled with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v....
A preterm baby is born before the gestational age of 37 weeks. A pregnancy that lasts 41 weeks up to 42 weeks is called late-term and a pregnancy longer than 42 weeks is called post-term . [ 10 ] The general consensus is that a fetus is viable at 24 weeks, however, a live birth may occur earlier in gestation with the assistance from neonatal ...
Police have confirmed a woman has been arrested amid the ongoing investigation into multiple babies suffering "unexplainable fractures" in 2023 and 2024 at the Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in Virginia
The original paper by Gurney analyzed the situation of an exploding shell or bomb, a mass of explosives surrounded by a solid shell. Other researchers have extended similar methods of analysis to other geometries. All of the equations derived based on Gurney's methods are collectively called "Gurney equations".
