Depleted uranium technical brief

Depleted uranium (DU) is a byproduct of the process used to enrich natural uranium for use in nuclear reactors and in nuclear weapons. Natural uranium is composed of three isotopes; 234U, 235U, and 238U (see Table 1) [1]. The enrichment process concentrates both the 235U and the 234U isotopes in the product material, resulting in a waste product or byproduct depleted in both 235U and 234U. The ...

Protein nanofibres of defined morphology prepared from mixtures of crude crystallins

Self assembling protein nanofibres have great potential within the nanotechnology industry. To realise this potential, nanofibres need to be manufactured on a commercial scale. To date, amyloid fibrils, a form of protein nanofibre with desirable bionanotechnological properties, have only been produced using expensive and time-costly, small-scale methods. This paper describes the production of ...
