20 Feb 2017 (NucNet) : A new way of extracting uranium from seawater could help countries without uranium mines harness nuclear energy, a team from Stanford University in California said. The team has developed a technique that improves the capacity, rate and reusability of materials that harvest uranium from seawater. In the past, researchers at the Oak Ridge national laboratory in the US demonstrated a material that could pull uranium, in the form of uranyl ions, out of the water like a (...)
