Stories about: deuterium

High-Density Deuterium Could Become Nuclear Fusion Fuel A few years ago, if someone would have told a scientist that humans will end up producing materials that are more dense than the core of the Sun, they wouldn't have believed it. Still, this is true now. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg are working on creating ultra-dense deuterium (more commonly known... 13 May 2009 05:34 GMT Anti-Aging Elixir Possibly Discovered More in-depth research on the impact of free radicals and isotopes on aging performed by Russian biochemist Mikhail Shchepinov provided the grounds for a company called Retrotope, formed in collaboration with other heavy-weight scientists, that aims to find a way to slow down aging. Special heavy water could be the a... 28 November 2008 18:01 GMT Atoms Vibrating at a Lower Frequency Can Reduce Friction The experiment conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, designed to measure vibrations that occur during the slide of two materials on each other's surface, demonstrate that heavier elements planted on the surface of an object can reduce the force of friction and loss of energy through this process.Scientis... 2 November 2007 10:54 GMT
