But deuterium also holds a whole lot of promise for nuclear fusion. It would create a lot more energy than the methods investigated on Earth, and burn hotter too.

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 ...

Focused Energy and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California have announced the signing of a Cooperative ...

The experimental reactor's main goal is to create nuclear fusion like the Sun, using deuterium from the sea to provide a steady stream of clean energy.

These reactions can take advantage of rapid mixing and surface to volume ratio effects. Hydrogen deuterium exchange (HDE) methods hold promise as relevant tools for the late-stage and one-step ...
