He has been attempting to use magnetic nanoparticles to catalyze chemical reactions, thereby increasing the rate at which the reaction occurs. He said that this area of research allowed him to combine disciplines without obvious connections, such as organic chemistry and quantum mechanics...
...fissile material from 37 countries and has its sights on 4,190 lbs. (1,900 kg) more. To meet that goal, Obama has asked for the program's budget to be increased by 67% percent to $560 million next year. But many countries see HEU-fueled research reactors as symbols of prestige and don't necessarily share U.S. and Russian concern that fissile material may fall into terrorist hands. Canada and South Africa, which both have large stockpiles of HEU, argue they need it to make medical isotopes profitably. Politics comes into play too: poor relations between Ukraine and Russia...
