miniature nuclear explosives?
would it be possible to make a nuclear explosive that would be so small that if you scaled the Hiroshima bomb that what the Hiroshima bomb is to us would be that scale but to ants or some other small creature.
I mean I don't want some devastating device that could kill thousands or anything I think it would just be hilarious to see a large ant hill "nuked" and just like idk XD
I wish they had this I mean a nuke so small that the mushroom cloud barely stood a foot tall and the radiation covered area would be maybe like 20-50 feet.
I'm not saying that radiation is good or the bombs are good but I do think it would be cool and kinda funny to watch a mini nuke go off XD like the smaller the better lol even if it was like a .22 BB size nuke that could barely burn your toenail
I just want to see this happen.
but is this/would this be possible at all? lol XD I mean idk how they work maybe they can only be so small but still I just imagine an eraser sized nuke dropping next to an ant hill
and hey scientists could more safely observe the full effects of nuclear radiation on insects and all that in what I'm assuming would be a desolate or contained/controlled environment
thanks for reading and let me know if this is possible lol I would pay good money to the government to watch a mini nuke of that size go off XD

Yes Professor Hank Pim is working with Scott Lang to do so using Pim particles to shirking down the chemicals to make the nuclear bomb and AntMan will test it

No, critical mass is required to initiate the chain reaction that results in an atomic detonation, and the smallest critical mass you can have is around 11 kg of plutonium-239. It simply doesn't work with smaller amounts.
