Or a Dora Downer but thank you for saying something. When I saw the term "hydrogen isotope" I had to look at the article link to make sure it wasn't RT, Popular Mechanics, or Natural News. Hydrogen isotope is a wildly inaccurate description of muonium. Tsk tsk SciAm. I'm gonna go look at the comments for the article. I'm betting we're not the only ones disappointed.
