Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Characterization of poly- and single-crystal uranium-molybdenum alloy thin films [PDF]
Poly- and single-crystal thin films of U-Mo alloys have been grown both on glass and sapphire substrates by UHV magnetron sputtering. X-ray and Electron Backscatter Diffraction data indicate that for single-crystal U1-xMox alloys, the pure cubic uranium gamma-phase exists for x > 0.22 (10 wt.% Mo).

First-principles investigation of uranium monochalcogenides [PDF]
We present first-principles investigation of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of uranium monochalcogenides: US, USe, UTe. The calculations were performed by using recently developed LDA+U+SO method in which both Coulomb and spin-orbit interactions have been taken into account in rotationally invariant form.

ABSTRACT This paper presents the interdisciplinary investigation (archaeology, geochemistry, history) of a medieval silver and lead production site located in southern France, in the Minier valley (Occitanie, Aveyron, Le‐Viala‐du‐Tarn). In order to identify the production sites, in situ geochemical surveys were carried out using a portable X‐ray ...

Advancements in Seawater Electrocatalysis for Renewable Energy Conversion and Resource Extraction
This graphic highlights seawater electrocatalysis for sustainable energy and resource extraction, focusing on HER/OER mechanisms and material advances (non‐precious, precious, nonmetal, and bifunctional catalysts). It addresses electrocatalytic conversion of pollutants (hydrazine, urea, microplastics) and extraction of valuable ions (e. g., Li, U) from
