Giant lasers pass new milestone towards fusion energy - They have shown that the fusion energy generated by the laser implosion of a deuterium-tritium fuel capsule is twice that of the kinetic energy of the implosion. https://physicsworld.com/a/giant-lasers-pass-new-milestone-towards-fusion-energy/ 153 comments 19/6/2018 science

Study find that the gaps between individual layers of 2D materials can be used as a sieve to separate different atoms. Hydrogen and deuterium could be separated when pushed through miniscule spaces in between atomically thin materials such as hexagonal boron nitride or molybdenum disulphide. http://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/smallest-ever-sieve-separates-atoms/ 9 comments 20/3/2018 science

Scientists have successfully transformed liquid deuterium into a metal at pressures rivalling those at the centre of our own planet. The discovery is another step along the long road to obtaining solid metallic hydrogen, a phase of matter that has eluded scientists for 80 years. http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2015/06/z-machine-puts-squeeze-metallic-deuterium 14 comments 26/6/2015 science
