We introduce the concept of synchronization bombs as large networks of coupled heterogeneous oscillators that operate in a bistable regime and abruptly transit from incoherence to phase-locking (or vice-versa) by adding (or removing) one or…

It has been recently reported that explosive synchronization transitions can take place in networks of phase oscillators [G\'omez-Garde\~nes \emph{et al.} Phys.Rev.Letts. 106, 128701 (2011)] and chaotic oscillators [Leyva \emph{et al.}…
