Basically, scientists previously believed that Earth's liquid reservoirs arrived here ... or isotope, called deuterium. In general, ratios of deuterium to regular hydrogen in water give scientists ...

They later distilled deuterium from liquid hydrogen, clinching proof of its existence. Urey won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 for discovering deuterium, the key component of heavy water.

to develop a model simulating the behavior of low-density foams wetted with liquid deuterium and tritium during implosion.

but the role of comets in bringing this life-giving liquid to Earth has been questioned. In 2014, Rosetta's analysis of Comet 67P surprised scientists by showing a deuterium level three times ...

Moreover, the synthesis of deuterated liquid crystals has been investigated to improve photochemical stability. These materials, which incorporate deuterium atoms, showed enhanced resistance to ...

to develop a model simulating the behavior of low-density foams wetted with liquid deuterium and tritium during implosion. The agreement supports the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s INFUSE project.
