The device had a yield of 9 kilotons — similar to the Hiroshima bomb — but this time, the detonation occurred beneath the ocean’s surface. Within a second, a dome of water rose over 840 feet into the air. By seven seconds, it had widened to nearly 3,800 feet, sending violent plumes in every direction. By the 12th second, the vertical column began to collapse, while massive water surges co

Part 44: The Atomic Bomb's Impact on History

Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "A nuclear reactor is a device that generates energy by controlling a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Inside the reactor core, fuel rods filled with uranium or plutonium undergo fission, where atomic nuclei split apart, releasing heat and neutrons. The heat is transferred to a coolant, often water, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. • #explore #reels #viral #universe #explaining #space"

Invention on Instagram: "In 2013, IBM scientists created A Boy and His Atom, the world’s smallest movie, by moving individual carbon monoxide molecules one at a time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, which can magnify surfaces over 100 million times, they positioned 65 atoms to form shapes and patterns that came together as frames of a stop motion film. Each frame measured just 45 by 25 nanometers, so small that 1,000 frames could fit inside a single grain of salt. The achievement was reco
