How To Use deuterium In A Sentence
- So if all the deuterium fused it could generate substantial heat in the Earth.
- The Theories still do not explain how the conservation of energy is broken, even if the hydrogen or deuterium translates to relativistic hydrogen inside a Casimir cavity the transition as noted by Mills is nonradiative, according to Mills a reaction is necessary inside the cavity but according to the H-M theory the hydrogen loses energy to the cavity walls but is then restored via the global vacuum energy as it exits the cavity. Will 2010 be the Year of Zero Point Energy?
- If the bombardment involved not only comets but also a bunch of these wet meteorites, called carbonaceous chondrites, then the overall deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio of the water raining down from the heavens could have been about right for forming today's oceans and lakes. Earth contains a vast amount of water, but scientists are unsure of its origins
- Heavy water, which has a heavier form of hydrogen, called deuterium, in the water molecule, allows the reactor to operate with natural uranium as fuel rather than enriched uranium. Sleight of Hand
- The fusion reaction triggered by the lasers within the tiny pellet of deuterium and tritium emits trillions of stray neutrons. Times, Sunday Times
- The basic principles are relatively simple to lay out: a high energy laser is used to heat and compress a small amount of deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen.
- As such, for any characteristic of PYP, in which exchangeable protons play a significant role, it might be possible to observe a deuterium isotope effect upon deuteration of the exchangeable protons.
- In rare cases where a quantum mechanical effect called tunneling occurs in the reaction, deuterium isotope effects of 20 or more have been observed.
- The goal of the company's targeted deuteration strategy is to impart greater safety over existing agents, while maintaining or improving efficacy through the judicious use of deuterium as a replacement for metabolically labile hydrogen atoms. BioSpace.com Featured News and Stories
