The word "deuterium" in example sentences

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. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The first ignating and moderating link in this chain, burning hydrogen to deuterium, is based on the weak force, which could then be called the Sunignator and ❋ Unknown (1992)

Of all the nuclear species found in nature, deuterium is the only one whose origin stems exclusively from the explosive origin of the Universe. ❋ Unknown (1978)

Frogs and fishes swimming in water containing deuterium absorb it and, after about 4 hours, are in equilibrium with the medium as far as the deuterium is concerned. ❋ Unknown (1964)

Unlike nuclear fission, which tears apart atoms to release energy and highly radioactive by-products, fusion involves putting immense pressure, or "squeezing" two heavy hydrogen atoms, called deuterium and tritium together so they fuse. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Heavy water is pretty much just like regular water, but instead of hydrogen atoms it has deuterium, which is to say, hydrogen atoms with an extra neutron. ❋ Unknown (2009)

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. ❋ Unknown (2008)

And the principal fuel, a heavy isotope of hydrogen called deuterium, is present in ordinary water, of which there is no shortage. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Most hydrogen comes in a form in which its nucelus consists of a single proton, but there's also an istope called deuterium that contains both a proton and a neutron. ❋ John Timmer (2011)

It has also shown that a heavy form of hydrogen, called deuterium, is progressively enriched in the upper echelons of Venus's atmosphere, because the heavier hydrogen will find it less easy to escape the planet's grip. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Kesner cautions that the kind of fuel cycle planned for other types of fusion reactors such as tokamaks, which use a mixture of two forms of "heavy" hydrogen called deuterium and tritium, should be easier to achieve and will likely be the first to go into operation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

They soon discovered that sustaining the temperatures and pressures needed to maintain the so-called deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction for days on end exceeded the limits of the magnetic containment technology.
