...became active in an effort to save an Inuit (Eskimo) village from being destroyed by hydrogen bomb tests. We organized contact with the House and Senate and slowed it down. When Kennedy signed the atmospheric test ban treaty with Khrushchev, that killed...
Marshall N. Rosenbluth ’46, a leading physicist in the field of nuclear fusion and plasmas who contributed to the development of the hydrogen bomb, died on Sunday from pancreatic cancer...
...Edward Teller, considered the father of the hydrogen bomb, recruited Rosenbluth to work in Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Rosenbluth maintained this position until 1956. The research he conducted at Los Alamos led to the development of the H-bomb. Rosenbluth later headed the effort to find peaceful uses for nuclear fusion as an unlimited source of energy...
...Hydrogen Fuel Cell For carmakers, it's the ultimate green machine: a system that runs on hydrogen and oxygen and spouts only heat and water vapor. GM says it could start mass-producing fuel-cell cars by 2010. But makers of consumer electronics may beat them to the punch. In two years NEC plans to introduce a fuel-cell-powered laptop that runs 40 hours between charges--very handy in, say, a massive blackout. Portable fuel-cell power generators sell for a mere...

Hydrogen peroxide kills pretty much everything in its path, including any immune cells that your body has rushed to the wound. All that's needed to treat most of these injuries is to wash them gently with soap and water--making sure dirt or any other foreign material is flushed out--and then to cover with a sterile bandage.
