Most nuclear applications use uranium, so we will attempt to unpick this complex area and present some facts about uranium and the science that is done with it.

Elements heavier than iron, such as gold and uranium, are primarily formed through neutron capture processes, specifically the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). The r-process, unlike the ...

DURING the course of investigations of catalysts for use in reactions between steam and hydrocarbons, it was found that by introducing uranium to the catalyst formulation a marked improvement in the ...

At the middle of the 19th century, 63 chemical elements were known to science. Before Mendeleev’s discovery, attempts at arranging them in some logical way were made by Johann Doebereiner (1829), ...
