Creating a fusion plasma requires deep understanding of the behavior of various isotopes of hydrogen. These isotopes are the fuel for the fusion reaction. But plasma scientists have long been puzzled ...

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 ...

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

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum tunneling, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher potential energy ...

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 ...

A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium (D2) from hydrogen (H2) at a temperature of 120 K has been introduced. Notably, this temperature exceeds the liquefaction point of natural gas, ...
