As common as uranium is in the ground around us, the world’s oceans contain a thousand times more uranium (~4.5 billion tons) than can be mined today. This makes extracting …read more Continue reading Bipolar Uranium Extraction from Seawater with Ultra-Low Cell Voltage
Within the nuclear sciences, including fuel production and nuclear medicine (radiopharmaceuticals), often specific isotopes have to be produced as efficiently as possible, or allow for the formation of (gaseous) fission …read more Continue reading 3D Printing Uranium-Carbide Structures for Nuclear Applications
A striking new study led by researchers from the University of Nebraska has found unusually high levels of lead and uranium in urine samples from teenagers who frequently use e-cigarettes. But several scientists, while careful to say not vaping is stil… Continue reading Uranium and lead vaping study instead reveals pitfall of flimsy research
When I was a kid we used to go to a place we just called “The Book Barn.” It was pretty descriptive, as it was just a barn filled with …read more Continue reading Mining and Refining: Uranium and Plutonium
Since the 1960s, researchers have been turning to an unlikely harvesting ground for uranium: the world’s oceans. Now, an Australian-led team has moved the prospect of sea-based uranium harvesting another step forward with a cheap and easy-to-make mater… Continue reading New neodymium-doped material can fish uranium out of seawater
It perhaps goes without saying that one nuclear bomb can really ruin your day. The same is true for non-nuclear dirty bombs, which just use conventional explosives to disperse radioactive …read more Continue reading New Drug Has Potential as Dirty Bomb Antidote
Fair warning: if you’re going to try to mold uranium glass in a microwave kiln, you might want to not later use the oven for preparing food. Just a thought. …read more Continue reading Nuke Your Own Uranium Glass Castings in the Microwave
On Facebook, a representative for the Libyan National Army says it found 2.5 tonnes of missing uranium near Chad. Continue reading Wagner Mercenaries Back Libyan Group That Says It Recovered Missing Uranium

All nuclear fission power reactors run on fuel containing uranium and other isotopes, but fueling a nuclear reactor is a lot more complicated than driving up to them with a …read more Continue reading The Intricacies of Creating Fuel for Nuclear Reactors
