One of the unsolved problems in hydrogen research is how to provide these isotopes in a highly pure form in an efficient and cost-effective way, as they have very similar physical properties ...

While most isotopes of an element share similar chemical properties, there is one notable exception: hydrogen isotopes. Most hydrogen atoms on Earth contain only one proton and one electron, but ...

Since these isotopes have very similar physical properties, one of the open challenges in hydrogen research is how to efficiently and economically produce these isotopes in a highly pure form.

The article, “Isotope-dependent site occupation of hydrogen in epitaxial titanium hydride nanofilms,” was published in Nature Communications at DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53838-6 .

Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. They share almost the same chemical properties, but differ in mass and therefore in physical properties.

Quantum nature of hydrogen bonds in water manifests itself in peculiar physicochemical isotope effects: while deuteration often elongates and weakens hydrogen bonds of typical hydrogen-bonded ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

IN the recent joint discussion of Sections A (Mathe matical and Physical Sciences) and B (Chemistry) on September 10, at the British Association meeting at Aberdeen, on heavy hydrogen, two points ...

To rigorously test that theory, isotopes of hydrogen are needed with greater differences between their masses. Fleming and his colleagues created some, using muons produced by collisions in the ...
