From the Science Teacher's Resource Center. A data sheet tabulating the many differences between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Technical information about the nuclear reactions, the mass defect, isotope masses, etc. is included.

From the Atomic Archive - the online companion to the award-winning CD-ROM. This page (and the couple that follow from it) describe the use of fusion reactions in a hydrogen bomb. A schematic diagram of an H-bomb is given and discussed....

Kids learn about nuclear energy and fission in the science of physics including E=mc2, power plants, uses of nuclear power, and fusion.

The history of energy being transformed from matter is provided at this site. The information starts at Einstein's formula, then discussions fusion, future energy sources, fission, and nuclear reactors.

Students don't generally learn much about Edward Teller in school. But with the progress in science in the 20th century, maybe they should. Edward Teller was one of the main architects of the hydrogen bomb. This is a great site by...

A brief description of supernova remnants with many embedded links to help define terms used in the description. The specific topics are age and the importance of remnants to us and the types. Definitions of key words are provided.

Supernovae are divided into two basic physical types, including a description of supernova types and how they are classified based on the existence of hydrogen spectral lines. Definitions of key terms are provided.

This Eight Planets site briefly describes solar wind, a low density stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun. It also provides the basics on the sun's composition and additional sun links.
