One out of 6420 hydrogen atoms, on average, is a deuterium isotope. Deuterium isotopes are distributed in molecules that contain hydrogen, including, importantly, in all forms of water – also water in ...

But deuterium also holds a whole lot of promise for nuclear fusion. It would create a lot more energy than the methods investigated on Earth, and burn hotter too.

They later distilled deuterium from liquid hydrogen, clinching proof of its existence. Urey won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 for discovering deuterium, the key component of heavy water.

Two deuterium drug companies reported deals on Jan. 19. Mumbai-based Sun Pharma announced that it would acquire the deuterium drug developer Concert Pharmaceuticals for $576 million. And the ...
