The Strange Reason Scientists Still Need Pre-1945 Steel
The world's most sensitive radiation detectors sometimes rely on low background steel produced before the first atomic bomb test in July 1945, according to a new report from SpaceDaily.
Steel manufactured before the nuclear age lacks the tiny traces of radioactive fallout that atmospheric weapons testing later introduced into the environment, making it valuable for experiments searching for extraordinarily rare particles and faint radiation signals.
The report says that this gave rise to the popular story that scientists depend on steel salvaged from pre war shipwrecks resting on the ocean floor. While there is some truth to that, the claim has been greatly exaggerated. Some laboratories have indeed used steel from old warships for shielding, but it is not true that nearly every sensitive detector depends on sunken ships or that science faces a crisis as this supply disappears.
The reason low background steel matters is that, in cutting ...

Kupfer: El Nino als unterschätztes Risiko (SG)

Mehrere große Minenbetreiber meldeten vorübergehende Betriebsunterbrechungen infolge von Schneefällen und Überschwemmungen.. --- Die Bedeutung von El‑Niño-bedingten Störungen ergibt sich vor allem aus der hohen geografischen Konzentration des Angebots: Chile und Peru stehen zusammen für knapp 40% der weltweiten Kupferminenproduktion..
