Uranium to replace plastic? Chemistry breakthrough could pave the way for new materials

Uranium can perform reactions that previously no one thought possible, which could transform the way industry makes bulk chemicals, polymers, and the precursors to new drugs and plastics, according to new findings from The University of Manchester. Writing in the journal Nature Communications, the chemists have discovered that uranium can perform reactions that used to … Continue reading Uranium to replace plastic?
