Remarkably, a primary hydrogen–deuterium isotope effect is readily detected at the single-molecule level during prototropic rearrangement of an initial adduct.

An international research team has successfully achieved single-molecule spectroscopic observation of hydrogen (H2) and deuterium (D2) confined within a picocavity. The picocavity was formed ...

Despite intensive experimental and theoretical studies in more than three-quarters of a century, the molecular-level origin of this peculiar isotope effect on water hydrogen bonds has been unclear.

Despite years of medical progress, cancer remains one of the top causes of death globally, with millions of people diagnosed ...

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

Meanwhile, the first wall of TBM will be exposed to deuterium (D)–T mixture plasma, it is necessary to consider the isotope effects on plasma-driven co-permeation as well.

Almost two-thirds of the world's population is affected by the monsoon—the annual arrival of intense rains in areas north and ...

To elucidate the origin of this nontrivial isotope effect, the team conducted theoretical simulations using density functional theory (DFT), path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD), and model ...

'Heavy' hydrogen stabilizes drugs New method may, for instance, help to make already approved medicines even more effective Date: December 23, 2021 Source: University of Bonn Summary: Researchers ...

Isotopic effects were investigated using the same simulation procedure by varying the hydrogen isotope masses. Additionally, the effect of incident angle was examined by performing another simulation ...

But the so-called kinetic isotope effect makes the bonds forged between carbon and deuterium tougher to break than those that bind carbon and mere hydrogen.
