Researchers Find Carboranes Useful To Extract Uranium
Carboranes are molecules made up of boron, carbon and hydrogen atoms in complex three-dimensional shapes. Fifty years ago, researchers decided that carboranes could be the next rocket fuel because they could release huge amounts of energy when they were burned. At the time, these carboranes were thought to have the capability to surpass the performance of conventional hydrocarbon rocket fuel.

Researchers In Japan Improve Boron Based Cancer Therapy
As we learn more and more about the biology of cancer, we have been able to develop therapies that are based on selectively targeting and killing cancer cells. One such therapy is called boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). This is a radiotherapy process which involves injecting boron into cancer cells and then exposing it to neutrons.
