Father of H-Bomb Passes Away

U.S. scientist Edward Teller died last Tuesday (September 10) at age 95. In the 1940s, Teller siezed on Enrico Fermi's idea that nuclear fusion could create a much larger bomb than splitting an atom. Teller pursued this idea and helped create the hydrogen bomb. Because of his passion and dedication to its construction, Teller had been named "the father of the H-bomb."
