And we seem to be trying to replace it with online socialization, to disastrous effect.

Can someone update this question with a proper answer? It’s one of the first google results when trying to find out how much hydrogen is actually used in a hydrogen bomb and the answers are so wildly different that I don’t know which is right.
We got 17kg, 771kg and 10,000 kg!

We almost always use 5% DMSO. It works best in my experience.

Then frozen slowly in vials in something like this.

When thawing you went a fast thawing process so putting the vial in a water bath at body temp works well.
