Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt ...

At the heart of this effort lies thorium-229, a rare isotope with a one-of-a-kind feature: it has a nuclear state that can be triggered using laser light. While most atomic clocks rely on changes ...

In August 2021, China announced the completion of its first experimental thorium-based nuclear reactor. Built in the middle of the Gobi Desert in the country’s north, the reactor over the next few ...

Copenhagen Atomics has raised over 25 million euros and has developed full scale reactor hardware for molten salt thorium nuclear reactors. Almost a decade ago Copenhagen Atomics was founded based on ...

Thorium film could replace crystals in atomic clocks of the near future Physicists have developed a new film that requires much less of the rare thorium-229 and is significantly less radioactive Date: ...

For the past 70 years or so, the idea of using thorium as an energy source for cars has come around time and again. Beginning with the concept for the 1957 Ford Nucleon that, if adopted ...

The web browser Thorium is named after thorium, the element with atomic number 90. Regarding the development of Thorium, Flick said, 'Chromium is a great project, and we want to create a fork of ...

Authorization to purchase, store, use or dispose of Uranium and Thorium compounds, such as Acetates or Nitrates must be obtained from the Radiation Safety Committee or the Radiation Safety Officer.
