Could deuterium be the key to finding aliens?In order to harvest deuterium, an alien civilization might draw from its oceans to continue the need for fuel. This, in turn, would cause a visible imbalance in the deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio ...
According to TechCrunch, Helion will use its $425 million funding round to upgrade its manufacturing capabilities. The ...
A mixture of deuterium and tritium — two hydrogen isotopes — will be used to fuel future fusion power plants. Inside the reactor, deuterium and tritium nuclei collide and fuse, releasing helium and ...
