The lightest of all elements, hydrogen, is in great demand due to its promising role as a sustainable resource in the energy transition. A team from Leipzig University and TU Dresden, as part of the ...

(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 ...

A research team led by Linda Zhang at Tohoku University has developed a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) that enables record-breaking separation of hydrogen isotopes, achieving a D 2 /H 2 ...

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 ...

Thousands of tonnes of hydrogen isotope mixtures are processed annually to produce heavy-water and ensure the safe decontamination of tritium isotopes. Whilst there are currently technologies in use ...

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei and ...

As part of the Hydrogen Isotopes 1,2,3H Research Training Group, a team from Leipzig University and TU Dresden has made a significant advancement in the effective and economical provision of isotopes, ...

For decades, scientists have relied on a chemical fingerprint inside water molecules to determine where plants get their ...

Deuterium, a heavier but less abundant version of the hydrogen atom, has many practical applications. Unfortunately, producing deuterium and using it to protect silicon-based semiconductors requires a ...
