The United States should focus on deploying uranium-based reactors now, but build its nuclear industrial base in a way that ...

China has just flipped the switch on a revolutionary thorium nuclear reactor that could change the future of energy forever ...

India has an abundance of thorium reserves. A shift from uranium to thorium as part of the nuclear programme can enable the ...

The thorium isotope with the mass number 229 (229 Th) is highly exciting in many respects – for fundamental physics as well as for future applications, for example in the sense of a nuclear clock. An ...

(via Kyle Hill) Since the 1960s, we’ve known that light water nuclear reactors weren’t the only way to generate electricity by splitting the atom. One alternative design, so-called “molten salt ...

The material is three to four times more abundant than uranium and produces about 250 times the amount of energy per unit of weight. So what´s the trick? The use of thorium is based on an ...

Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a transparent crystal when hit by a laser beam could yield the most accurate measurements ever of time and gravity, and even rewrite ...
