Liu and 13 co-authors reported in 2026 that Martian meteorites provide a record of the planet’s geological history. However, most are geologically young samples that are not representative of Mars’ surface, which is dominated by ancient rocks.
The Martian meteorite Teghaza 001 is shown in the figures above:

Justin Huhn reports on his group's research on the future of uranium supply and demand over the past year of 2026.
Justin explains why global reactor demand is now running above 200 million pounds while primary mine supply is only around 175 million pounds, leaving what he estimates is a 25 million pound shortfall in 2026 even after accounting for secondary supply. We also dig into the difference between the roughly $89 spot uranium price and the $96.50 reported term price, why the real forward market is already above $100 per pound. The thi...
