A solid-state nuclear clock has a great potential to become a robust and portable timing device that is highly precise.

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

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics ...

China has announced the discovery of vast thorium reserves, a radioactive metal being hailed as a potential " limitless " ...

Research has been published over the past few decades on the possible use of thorium in various nuclear power reactor types. Therefore, it is worthwhile to analyse the supply situation for additional ...

Imagine a world where your electricity bill is as extinct as the dodo. A utopia where plugging in your devices doesn't induce ...

Thorium is a relatively abundant, slightly radioactive element which is commonly produced as a byproduct of mining rare-earth metals. On its own, thorium isn't fissile, which means it doesn't ...
