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
