This heavier isotope is now known as deuterium. Water (H 2 0), as you are likely painfully aware from school, is an inorganic compound comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

In general, ratios of deuterium to regular hydrogen in water give scientists a strong clue as to where that water formed. Typically, water with more deuterium is more likely to form in colder ...

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 ...

During its mission, Rosetta made measurements in the coma of gas and dust surrounding the comet and found a deuterium level three times higher than Earth's water—the highest level of any comet ...

The Earth possesses virtually inexhaustible reserves of the raw materials—deuterium and tritium—essential for a fusion ...

Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are exploring how deuterium, a potential fusion fuel, interacts with ...

This e-learning course addresses the principles and procedures concerning the deuterium dilution technique of estimating total body water. The module is based on information in IAEA Human Health ...
