One out of 6420 hydrogen atoms, on average, is a deuterium isotope. Deuterium isotopes are distributed in molecules that contain hydrogen, including, importantly, in all forms of water – also water in ...

Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated on a GLP-1 receptor agonist candidate for diabetes and obesity treatment.

The research is still in its early stages, but these results imply that these hydrogen-deuterium ratios could act as an atomic "fingerprint" for cancer cells, making early tumor growth easier to spot.

Learn what mass number and atomic number tell us about the protons, neutrons and electrons in science's current Rutherford-Bohr model of an atom.

Last week U. S. chemists and physicists girded up their loins for war on their British colleagues. A U. S. discoverer’s right to name his own discovery had been challenged from abroad ...

Deuterium was discovered and named in 1931 by Harold Urey, earning him a Nobel Prize in 1934 after the discovery of the neutron in 1932 made the structure of deuterium obvious.

The crystal structure of Cu-ZIF-gis that shows cylindrical straight channels along the c-axis. The pores were calculated with Connolly surfaces with a probe of 1.1 Å. (Cu, orange; N, blue; C ...

In Sept. 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb’s deucravacitinib (Sotyktu) became the first drug to be approved that was designed to include deuterium from the outset. Chemical & Engineering News ISSN 0009 ...

Achieved the first spectroscopic observation of hydrogen (H 2) and deuterium (D 2) molecules physically adsorbed within an atomic-scale space known as a picocavity.
