🇨🇳🧬 China's 'predator' micromotor hunts uranium in water Chinese scientists have created a microscopic light-powered material that swims through water and actively captures uranium ions, like a predator hunting its prey. 👉 The material is a micromotor built from a metal-organic framework and is just two micrometers in size—much... show more

Uranium is setting the stage for an upward swing Most people focus on the spot market, which represents only 15% of the overall market. The term market is where the vast majority of uranium is sold. Uranium contracts currently being negotiated: - Floors in the 90s - Ceilings in the 160s - A rise of ~20% in the last ~7 months The floor is higher than the current spot price. Utilities are still short uranium and, at some point in the near future, will have to enter the market in size. Uranium is one of my top picks for the long term.

Stefan Burns do you think the alignments might be pointing toward Thorium instead of Uranium? Thorium is a byproduct of Uranium and is an element that we’ve been guided to replace silver in electronics.

The Islamic regime in Iran cannot be allowed to keep its enriched uranium. For decades they’ve been trying to build a nuclear bomb. They currently have 60 percent enriched uranium. From that level, they can get to 90 percent which is weapons-grade in a week or so. That’s why America and Israel had to act when they did. So the real question is: what happens to that uranium? There are only two real options. Either Iran gives it up peacefully, or someone has to go in and take it by force, because this is not something that can just sit there for the Islamic regime to keep.

Everyone's focused on oil right now. And I get it. Brent above $100, the Strait of Hormuz shut down, tankers stranded. But there's an energy crisis hiding in plain sight that could be even MORE consequential: Uranium. Here are the numbers you should know: Global uranium demand is roughly 90,000 tons per year. Global production is 60,000 tons. That's a 30,000-ton annual DEFICIT. So how has the market survived so far? Utilities have been burning through their inventories. After Fukushima, Japan shut its reactors. Sweden pulled back. Germany closed its fleet entirely. Those utilities had 12 to 15 years of uranium stockpiled. Today, the average inventory level is just TWO YEARS. The cushion is gone. And demand is about to explode. There are roughly 200 new reactors planned globally by 2040. Each reactor consumes about 160 tons of raw uranium per year. That's 32,000 tons of additional annual demand. Half of one year's current production. Just from new reactors. And where does the supply come from? Well... it doesn't. Kazakhstan produces 45% of the world's uranium. Starting in 2028, Kazakhstan plans to dedicate 100% of its supply to China and Russia. Already 80% goes to those two countries. But that remaining 20% disappearing from the open market will tighten an already desperate situation. There aren't enough new mine projects to fill the gap. Mining is hard. Permitting takes years. And the world hasn't invested seriously in new uranium production for over a decade. But here's the part that's REALLY scary: Enriched uranium. Raw uranium is useless for a reactor. It has to be enriched. And 60% of the world's enrichment capacity sits in Russia. If Putin decided to embargo enriched uranium exports, it would be devastating for Western utilities. And strategically, it would cost Russia almost nothing. Russia's enrichment business generates roughly $6 billion a year. That's what Russia earns from ONE WEEK of oil sales. Why Putin hasn't pulled this lever yet is a mystery. But the vulnerability is real and every Western utility executive knows it. This is why we're bullish on uranium. Uranium spot prices are around $87 per pound. $200 per pound by 2027 or 2028 is entirely achievable given the supply-demand math. The oil trade gets the headlines. But people overlook uranium. A 30,000-ton annual deficit. Utility inventories at two years. Kazakhstan redirecting supply to China. Russia controlling 60% of enrichment. And 200 new reactors coming online. THE MATH DOESN'T LIE

In 1998, Pakistan tested nuclear bombs in Chaghi, #Balochistan The fuel used was enriched uranium. Pakistan used uranium to power the nuclear tests in Ras Koh hills. When uranium explodes, it releases harmful radiation into the ground, air, and water. Even underground tests can leak radioactive material into soil and groundwater. After the tests, leftover uranium and radioactive waste were likely buried in the region without proper safety. The land in Ras Koh has remained toxic ever since. Radiation exposure from uranium causes cancer, organ failure, and genetic mutations. Contaminated water and soil poison crops, livestock, and people. Children are born with severe birth defects. The radiation stays active for thousands of years. Pakistan’s nuclear weapons use highly enriched uranium or plutonium as fissile material. Uranium didn’t just explode in Chaghi, it settled into the earth, seeped into water, and air and causing diseases like cancer. #NukeAftermathInBalochistan

Scientists just built a robot smaller than the width of a human hair (!) It has no motor, no computer and no battery It's a 3D-printed, flexible chain of microscopic segments that, after being hit with an electric field, started swimming through liquid like a snake. Try to block its path? It twists around the obstacle, as if it can sense what's in its way. But the strangest thing about it all is that the behavior isn't programmed. It emerges from the physics of the structure itself. The entire robot is 5 micrometers long (for context: a human hair is 70). The researchers think this could one day deliver drugs directly to tumors or infections inside the human body. Sometimes the simplest designs produce the most lifelike behavior.

Joe Biden blocked uranium mining today on a million acres bordering the Grand Canyon. Why would Biden block mining for an element used for nuclear power plants, electricity, radiation treatments? We already import 95% of our uranium from countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, Africa. And now, Joe is single-handedly losing Africa to Russia, who already controls our Uranium supply chain through its satellites. America already sends a billion dollars to Putin’s crown jewel uranium base, Rosatom. The same Rosatom that took over Uranium One, the company that donated millions to the Clinton Foundation, when Hillary was Obama’s Secretary of State. So why is Joe Biden funding Russia’s dangerous uranium monopoly?

Former Ambassador of Pakistan to ⁦United Nations⁩ Dr Maleeha Lodhi said that first time in the history two nuclear countries attacked a non nuclear country, now Iran have the option to become a nuclear power because Iran have 400 kg uranium which is 60% enriched and it is still safe.

China built a bomb with zero nuclear material. No uranium. No plutonium. Just hydrogen🔥and it burns 15 times longer than TNT at 1,000°C. Hot enough to melt armoured vehicles. It doesn’t violate any nuclear treaty. A factory in China is now producing 150 tonnes of the material per year. #wartoon #china #hydrogenbomb #military #taiwan

China-Haters🤬: "400 million Chinese have no running water!" Now that the world knows how much farther along China's urban areas really are, China-haters are transitioning their disinformation campaign to China's rural areas. While rural areas need more development, 100% of urban areas have running water, and 94% of rural areas have access to running water. Reality: 28 million people in rural area still need improved access to running water. China is a developing country. Under China's current common prosperity campaign, this is being addressed. Within a few years, this will be solved. But the claim that nearly half a billion people in China don't have running water isn't born from concern, it is born from hate. It is slander intended to insult the Chinese people and their efforts to improve their country and standard of living. Source:

Paris, France 🇫🇷 has experienced power outages, causing darkness in its streets due to a lack of uranium, while mainstream media claims it is due to technical issues, heatwaves, or energy strain. But we know France is missing Niger’s 🇳🇪 uranium, as they have been restricted from the country.

Uh Oh: Chinese scientists have created a COVID strain that is 100% lethal in “humanized” mice. This is not such bad news if you’re a billionaire with a bunker, but for the rest of us, it is concerning. Western scientists say they “hope” everything is being done safely in China. However, they admit to having “little information” on which to base that hope. Russell Brand

Pray for peace ☮️ for Israel and Iran!! Egyptian political analyst Iran broke the barrier of fear and there is no return or surrender after the betrayal and deception of negotiations and the killing of 20 army leaders ... Iran is a very dangerous gamble America is heading towards a disaster because Iran is a large country I consider that Iran has fallen, but what are the consequences???? ??????? Iran is a large country with an area 3 times larger than Ukraine and missiles can be launched from anywhere in this large area Iran is a country that has 10 tons of uranium 90 and 60 and dirty bombs and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard militias are able to close the most important strait in the world with a hydrogen bomb Iran has five thousand mines if uranium is placed in 300 mines and thrown in the strait what will it do???? Nothing

“You have to mine it out of the ground. You then turn it into a gas for enrichment. You then enrich it — which is essentially a refining process. So enrichment is separating the element of uranium into its two or a couple of different types based on its isotope, which is how many neutrons it has. It’s really a refining, separation process. A lot of people hear ‘enrichment’ and they think there’s going to be a lot of radiation or dangerous chemical reactions. It’s actually just separation." “Cold War era. We were the world leader in enrichment. We had these plants spread out throughout the country that used an old technique that was expensive. It required a lot of energy to do it. But we had the most capacity. Then we built up a lot of enriched uranium that we stockpiled, and those stockpiles..." Scott Nolan
