JILA researchers are pioneering a nuclear clock using thorium-229, which offers unprecedented stability compared to atomic ...

Thorium, an abundant and safer alternative to uranium, could soon become a vital resource in the quest to meet energy needs.

Scientists estimate that the Bayan Obo mining complex, if fully utilised, could yield 1 million tonnes of thorium—enough to sustain China’s energy needs for an astonishing 60,000 years ...

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics research, and tests of fundamental theories. But researchers are now pushing ...

A thorium-doped calcium fluoride crystal's temperature is continually monitored while a VUV frequency comb is used to directly resolve individual quantum states of the nuclear transition.

A world-shaking, first-of-its-kind discovery in China. Endless thorium supply in China can help make unlimited nuclear power ...

China could be sitting on top of enough thorium to power its energy needs almost forever, a national survey has revealed. This one radioactive metal alone could revolutionise global energy ...

China has found a treasure that will change its fortunes. Chinese geologists have discovered huge thorium reserves in the country. This reserve is so huge that it can end China's electricity problems ...

India aims to expand nuclear power capacity to 21,980 MW by 2031-32, emphasizing thorium utilization, safety, and ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...
