BUO₃ is a boron-uranium oxide compound belonging to the mixed-metal oxide semiconductor family. While not widely commercialized, this material is of research interest in nuclear materials science and advanced ceramics due to its unique combination of boron and uranium constituents. The compound represents an experimental composition whose potential applications would leverage the properties of its constituent elements—boron's lightweight and neutron-absorbing characteristics combined with uranium's density and electronic properties.
