Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium (D2) from hydrogen (H2) at a temperature of 120 K (-153°C) has been ...

MESSRS. R. P. BELL and J. H. Wolfenden 1 have recently given their experience in concentrating the hydrogen isotope, namely, that nickel, platinum and copper are about equally efficient as ...

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, ...

Current isotope separation processes are not very ... be used to purify and separate hydrogen isotopes. However, this has ...

Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the ...

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 ...

It also promotes the use of isotope techniques for assessing water resources and managing surface and groundwater on local and national scales, as well as in the case of shared transboundary water ...

The nucleus of each atom contains protons and neutrons. While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, ...

For this purpose, they must be separated using highly sophisticated techniques, such as mass spectrometry. While deuterium H-2, an isotope twice as heavy as hydrogen, is predominantly used in ...
