URANIUM IN GLASS:
Uranium has been used to color glass since the 19th century. Generally, the uranium proportion varies between trace levels and up to 2% by weight.
Uranium glass production ceased due to the strategic importance of uranium during World War II and the subsequent Cold War. Today you can find it in museums, antique stores, or even in our homes!
After this brief introduction, let’s go to the science. The physical phenomenon that gives rise to that green glow is called FLUORESCENCE and is not of nuclear origin; it is due to the electrons orbiting uranium nuclei.
Fluorescent materials are able to absorb high-energy photons (gamma rays, X-rays, UV rays, etc.) and subsequently emit part of that energy as photons of different wavelengths, for example within the visible spectrum (green, blue light, etc.).
For gin and tonic lovers: Tonic is flavored with a substance called quinine, which is fluorescent. Hence your gin tonic can appear blue under certain lighting conditions.
