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.

Greg Piefer is a UW-Madison College of Engineering product who is bullish about fusion uses today while urging patience over ...

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.

Because c is very large, a small amount of missing mass turns into a large amount of energy. The main fuels used in nuclear fusion devises are deuterium and tritium, both heavy isotopes of hydrogen.
