The atomic bomb was invented in 1933 by Leo Szilard, but could not be built until 1945.

The hydrogen bomb was invented in 1943 during discussions of possible atomic bomb designs (but it was not recorded who proposed the idea, although Edward Teller became its main proponent), but could not be built until 1952.
