Sentences with phrase «high deuterium»

(EMC2) and Tri Alpha Energy, are developing reactors that use proton - boron fuel, which requires even higher temperatures than deuterium does but allows almost direct conversion of fusion into electricity, without boiling water to drive a generator.

But by altering the simulation's parameters to give it a lower starting level of neutrons and a higher level of already - freed protons, the team found the universe could still form heavy hydrogen, or deuterium, and with it the basis of life.
