asteroid, X-ray and Nuclear Weapon
Could a nuclear bomb’s x-rays save Earth from a killer asteroid?
Radiation from a nuclear explosion can vaporize the surface of an asteroid and change its trajectory, a new study finds.
Asteroids Could Be Deflected Using X-rays From Nuclear Weapons
Exploding a nuclear bomb above a huge asteroid could vaporize its surface using X-rays, pushing the space rock away from Earth.
Nuclear bombs really could deflect asteroids, lab tests suggest
An experiment with powerful pulses of energy sent test targets flying in a step forward for planetary defense.
Scientists say X-rays from nuclear explosion may deflect asteroids from Earth
Scientists in New Mexico conducted several experiments and learned that asteroids can be deflected from Earth using explosions of nuclear warheads above the space rock's surface.
X-rays from a nuclear explosion could redirect an asteroid
Scientists have found nuclear weapons could actually help deflect an incoming cosmic impact — not by blowing an asteroid up, but by showering it with X-ray radiation.
Can nuclear blasts protect Earth from incoming asteroids? Scientists use X-rays in first successful test
Scientists may have just created the most efficient way to stop asteroids from obliterating the Earth. Researchers in New Mexico used Sandia National Laboratory’s Z machine, the most powerful laboratory source of radiation in the world,
Could an X-ray pulse save Earth from an asteroid strike?
Researchers theorize X-rays from a nuclear explosion could be used to vaporize an asteroid's surface, altering its trajectory.
