First-of-its-kind database for uranium minerals published
ORNL scientists published the Compendium of Uranium Raman and Infrared Experimental Spectra, or CURIES, a public database and analysis of structure-spectral relationships for uranium minerals. This first-of-its-kind dataset and corresponding analysis fill a key gap in the existing body of knowledge for mineralogists and actinide scientists, supporting the lab’s nuclear nonproliferation mission.
