This isotope of hydrogen is called deuterium, and heavy water's more scientific name is deuterium oxide, abbreviated as D 2 0. Nuclear power plants harness the energy of countless atoms of uranium ...

However, two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, are considered the most effective nuclear fuel for fusion devices.

This e-learning course addresses the principles and procedures concerning the deuterium dilution technique of estimating total body water. The module is based on information in IAEA Human Health ...

To develop a practical fusion power system, scientists need to fully understand how the plasma fuel interacts with its surroundings. The plasma is superheated, which means some of the atoms ...

The newly-developed MOF exhibits remarkable efficiency in deuterium separation, even at temperatures above the liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction temperature (111K, -162.15°C).

Research has shown that Snowy Owls recorded in Spain in November 2021 were of wild origin. Three individuals were recorded in northern Spain that month, two of which were subsequently found dead.  A ...

The study looks specifically at how much deuterium -- thought to be one of the best fuels for fusion -- might get stuck in the boron-coated, graphite walls of a doughnut-shaped fusion vessel known ...
