Team develops an electrochemical method for extracting uranium, and potentially other metal ions, from solution

Team develops an electrochemical method for extracting uranium, and potentially other metal ions, from solution: Fifty years ago, scientists hit upon what they thought could be the next rocket fuel. Carboranes—molecules composed of boron, carbon and hydrogen atoms clustered together in three-dimensional shapes—were seen as the possible basis for next-generation propellants due to their ability to release massive amounts of energy when burned.
