this is uranium
an element that if used in your car instead of petrol can make your car run for fifteen thousand years with just two kilos of uranium
however why doesn't any country use uranium
well uranium is a highly radioactive element
when placed in a cloud chamber the alpha and beta particles emitted from uranium can be clearly seen
despite being much cheaper than petrol uranium cannot be used as a fuel if we were to use it as such it's existence on earth would be depleted in the coming decades uranium is primarily used to provide energy to nuclear reactors which in turn supply us with electricity and other essential things if you are interested in science be sure to connect with great science
