Introduction Hydrogen is capable of having multiple isotopes at a time and deuterium appears to be one of its isotopes. It contains one neutron and one proton as its key components. Due to the presence of the neutron within deuterium, it appears heavier than the other isotopes of hydrogen. This isotope has a few real-time usages in the fusion reactors, in military and scientific fields, eventually making it one of the useful isotopes of hydrogen. What is Deuterium? Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that contains one neutron and one proton in its nucleus. The speciality of this isotope lies ... Read More

Introduction In terms of physics, any particle is the combination of three different units such as an electron, proton as well as neutron. A combination of multiple quarks is called hadrons and it is also the combination of protons as well as neutrons. These two particles are known as the constituents as well as components in terms of the atomic nucleus. Simply, quark is referred to as the simplest form of a date which is the elementary particles for making up the total matter that is surrounding Quark. Quark stands for q What is Quark? Figure 1: Quark ... Read More

Introduction Humans always have curiosity about the sun. We always wonder from where the sun is getting so much energy that it is supplying the whole solar system for billions of years. There must be some continuous process which is going on inside the sun and supplying so much of energy whether in the form of light and heat. So the answer is that there is a reaction which is going on from billions of years inside the sun which is called Thermonuclear fusion. Thermonuclear Fusion In this process, two or more atomic nuclei combine or fuse to form two ... Read More
