#^Nuclear strategies tested at Sandia could avert asteroid disasterLos Angeles CA (SPX) Sep 25, 2024

Sandia National Laboratories is exploring a coordinated nuclear response to deflect potentially catastrophic asteroids, according to physicist Nathan Moore. His team is using Sandia's Z machine-the world's most powerful pulsed-power facility-to simulate asteroid deflection scenarios and gather critical data on how asteroids of different compositions respond to such methods. "To most people
