Deuterium isotopes are distributed in molecules that contain hydrogen, including, importantly, in all forms of water – also water in our bodies. There’s 33 grams of deuterium in every cubic metre of ...

The deuterium abundance in the Milky Way is therefore an indicator of how much star formation has occurred over the 12 to 13 billion years since the galaxy’s birth. Science News headlines, in ...

These applications need high-purity deuterium, which is expensive because of its low natural abundance. Deuterium enrichment from hydrogen-containing feedstocks, such as seawater, is an important ...

The abundance of deuterium provides important insights into the formation of the Milky Way and demonstrates that deuterium is not made by stars or stellar activity. (Stars burn deuterium into ...

The abundance of deuterium provides important insights into the formation of the Milky Way and confirms that deuterium is not made by stars or stellar activity (stars convert deuterium into helium).

The abundance of deuterium found, together with analysis based on earlier work by Nobel Prize winning physicist William A. Fowler and colleagues, indicates that only 4% of the mass of the Universe ...
