SuperCritical Materials Partners with University of Michigan on Seawater Uranium…
What happened
SuperCritical Materials has partnered with the University of Michigan to test technology aimed at extracting uranium from seawater. The research focuses on whether the company's uranium-selective adsorbent can withstand the mechanical demands of industrial-scale marine deployment. Testing will take place at the university’s Aaron Friedman Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory.

Why it matters
The company holds an exclusive license to commercialize the adsorbent technology, which was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. This testing addresses a major obstacle to efforts to establish the ocean as a commercially viable uranium source.
