Unlike the sort of fusion done in big machines, which squeeze heavy hydrogen nuclei together, no neutrons are released in this reaction.
ECONOMIST: A novel form of fusion power

In the Nature study, Brian Naranjo and colleagues, from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), initiated fusion of heavy hydrogen, or deuterium, using the strong electric field generated in a pyroelectric crystal.

For the test run, Mr Lerner used deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen, as the gas.

It consists of 1, 000 tonnes of heavy water (the sort that has deuterium, a heavy form of hydrogen, in its molecules, instead of the normal, light form of the element).

Heavy water is heavy because the hydrogen in it weighs twice as much as ordinary hydrogen (it has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus, instead of just a proton).
ECONOMIST: Longevity

The carmaker sees it as the future of motoring, insisting hydrogen is better than batteries that need to be very heavy to supply enough electricity.

Never mind that they showed the difference between heavy water (with deuterium atoms) and ordinary water (with hydrogen atoms) in a way that no image had done before.

And these heavy elements are very important for making stars, because they allow the hydrogen and the helium to clump together, and collapse into stars then, and start to shine.

The idea was this: If after burning a quantity of heavy gasoline the airship became light, the skipper had only to switch to hydrogen, thus reducing lift.
