AFTER the discovery by Urey of the isotope of hydrogen of mass 2 (deuterium) and its concentration by electrolysis, it was natural to examine whether any other stable isotopes of hydrogen, and ...

The discovery of isotopes in the early 20 th century marked a key moment in the history of physics and led to a much more refined understanding of the atomic nucleus. Isotopes are ‘versions’ of a ...

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

Production and measurement of the extremely neutron-rich hydrogen isotope 6 H achieved for the first time in an electron scattering experiment / Result shows stronger than expected interaction between ...

Stable isotope analysis is often used to identify the geographic origins of migratory bird populations. While this method can accurately predict the provenance of migratory species, stable hydrogen ...

Deuterium, a heavier but less abundant version of the hydrogen atom, has many practical applications. Unfortunately, producing deuterium and using it to protect silicon-based semiconductors requires a ...

The A1 Collaboration at the Institute of Nuclear Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), together with scientists from China and Japan, has for the first time successfully produced one ...
