A study by scientists at Hunan University introduces a new hydrogen isotope separation method that leverages proton quantum ...

Deuterium can be electrochemically separated from ordinary hydrogen far more efficiently than current techniques using a ...

Every molecule of pure “heavy water” contains two atoms of deuterium, which is hydrogen of the double-weight form identified in 1931 by Columbia’s Harold Clayton Urey. Deuterium is not rare in nature.

Isowater says it has achieved production of market-grade deuterium oxide, also known as heavy water, an isotope that it says is in short supply. The Canadian firm uses an undisclosed process to enrich ...

Sweet water: deuterium oxide tastes sweet to humans. (Courtesy: Roger McLassus/CC BY-SA 3.0) Have you ever wondered what heavy water tastes like? Indeed, you may be tempted to taste deuterium oxide ...

In deuterium oxide, or heavy water, deuterium atoms, which have a proton and a neutron, replace water’s hydrogen atoms, which have only a proton each. This subtle atomic swap produces a strange ...

Heavy hydrogen was king of the meeting of the American Chemical Society in St. Petersburg, Fla. last week. Its discoverer, Dr. Harold Clayton Urey of Columbia University, opened a heavy hydrogen ...
