Uranium's half-life ranges from 159,200 to 4.5 billion years, making it valuable for dating geological strata and estimating Earth's age.

Processed uranium can sustain a fission chain reaction, making it a key energy source for nuclear reactors and weapons; as little as 15 lbs. can create an atomic bomb.
