LEXINGTON, Mass. — It’s just a simple swap. Pop out a hydrogen atom, throw in a “heavy” counterpart, and you’ve got a new drug. But on the shoulders of those bulky hydrogen atoms rest lots of money ...

A material that is a hundred thousand times heavier than water and more dense than the core of the Sun is being produced at a university. The scientists working with this material are aiming for an ...

Results shown in this article were published in a scientific journal of the Nature publishing group, Scientific Reports. In order to achieve nuclear fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine ...

Hydrogen (abbreviated "H") is the lightest of all elements. It usually consists only of a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron and is also called protium in this form. But there ...

An attempt is made to explain the recently reported occurrence of ultradense deuterium as an isothermal transition of Rydberg matter into a high density phase by quantum mechanical exchange forces. It ...

Heavier than hydrogen by a single neutron, deuterium might not seem to have much chemical heft. But the small matter of that subatomic particle makes a massive difference in the reactivity of hydrogen ...

Fusion reactors have long been touted as the “perfect” energy source. Proponents claim that when useful commercial fusion reactors are developed, they would produce vast amounts of energy with little ...
