Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, which, unlike “normal” hydrogen atoms, or protium, also contains a neutron. The isotope deuterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron. One out of ...

The physicochemical and biological properties of hydrogen-bonded systems are significantly affected by nuclear quantum effects including zero-point energies of vibrational modes, proton delocalization ...

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

Hydrogen is in great demand due to its promising role as a sustainable resource in the energy transition. Researchers have made an important breakthrough in the efficient and cost-effective provision ...

A study by scientists at Hunan University introduces a new hydrogen isotope separation method that leverages proton quantum tunneling to produce heavy water, overcoming the key physical limitation ...

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, ...
