Not that anyone asked, but uranium enrichment is certainly a newsworthy topic where a little science might be helpful. Here's ...

The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH 4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr −1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driving the accelerated CH 4 growth have so far been ...

This paper gives a brief history of the scientific considerations leading to the development of laser isotope separation (LIS) processes. The close relationship of LIS to the broader field of ...

How common is breast cancer? Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, except for skin cancers. It accounts for about 30% (or 1 in 3) of all new female cancers each year.

Rocks older than 4.03 billion years could shed light on Earth's earliest geological history, but they're incredibly rare.
