Until now, I thought that deuterium was something that was made up for Star Trek. They often talk about finding more of it in Voyager so that they can keep going. Starship fuel, essentially.
Well, I was just reading this article and it talks about it. I guess it is real. Google says that it is something fairly simple too! I am surprised that I haven't run across it in any of my science classes or in my own existence. I'm a 'junior science guy', and friend of science people...oh well. Now I know.
