In heavy water, each hydrogen atom is indeed heavier, with a neutron as well as a proton in its nucleus. This isotope of hydrogen is called deuterium, and heavy water's more scientific name is ...

Xinning Zhang and Ashley Maloney discovered that a geology technique shows promise in detecting cancer-like cells. If their ...

ALTHOUGH the separation of the two hydrogen isotopes which occurs on electrolysis must be closely connected with their over-potentials, no measurement of these has been published. A comparison of ...

Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium ...

All three isotopes of hydrogen have identical chemical properties. This is because the number of electrons determines chemical properties, and all three isotopes have one electron in their atoms.

While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, the number of neutrons defines the isotope of that element ...

A team from Leipzig University and TU Dresden, as part of the Hydrogen Isotopes 1,2,3H Research Training Group, has made an important breakthrough in the efficient and cost-effective provision of ...

The main fuels used in nuclear fusion devises are deuterium and tritium, both heavy isotopes of hydrogen. The Deuterium (D) – Tritium (T) reaction has the largest cross section (in other words, the ...
