Hydrogen isotope separation technologies play a pivotal role in energy production, nuclear safety and advanced research. These technologies aim to distinguish between remarkably similar isotopic ...

Recently, researchers from the Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with ITER organization and the Southwest Institute ...

Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly in ...

Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, which, unlike “normal” hydrogen atoms, or protium, also contains a neutron. The isotope deuterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron. One out of ...

Researchers have presented a method that allows the heavier hydrogen 'brother' deuterium to be introduced specifically into many different molecules. The deuterated compounds obtained in this way are ...
