According to a study by Chinese researchers published in 'Space: Science and Technology', using nuclear bombs on the surface of asteroids heading toward Earth might not work well for larger ones. Instead, scientists proposed digging a crater into the asteroid and triggering a nuclear explosion from within to break it apart. They called this technique "pre-excavation detonation" and noted that their simulations showed it to be a successful approach.
