Danish innovator Copenhagen Atomics has secured a major financial endorsement from the European Innovation Council (EIC) to ...

Idaho National Lab partners with Clean Core to test a new thorium-based nuclear fuel that may improve safety, cut waste, and ...

Further testing is on the way. Scientists announce surprising results after testing futuristic 'Holy Grail' nuclear facility: 'Like securing a seat on the only flight to the moon' first appeared on ...

Thorium is not only more abundant than uranium, but has the upside of not being as easy to weaponize. While the transformation of Th-232 produces protinactium, ...

Thorium has emerged as a potentially crucial resource in the global quest for alternative fuels. Why It Matters. The slightly radioactive element is extremely abundant—three to four times more ...

Thorium boasts several advantages over the conventional nuclear fuel, uranium-235. Thorium can generate more fissile material (uranium-233) than it consumes while fuelling a water-cooled or ...

The discovery of a metal-rich star packed with both light and heavy elements hints at exotic stellar explosions and the role of ancient dwarf galaxies in seeding the cosmos with uranium and thorium.

However, thorium not a fissile material, meaning it cannot undergo nuclear fission — the splitting of atomic nuclei which releases the energy used for electricity generation. TNW Conference 2025 ...

Thorium-229-doped crystals are both scarce and radioactive. A thin film using a dry precursor of thorium-229 shows the same nuclear excitation as the crystal, ...

Thorium ore is prevalent in a wide array of places around the world, including the United States. That's certainly not a trait uranium can claim.

A variety of the element thorium, thorium-229, has an unusually small energy jump, accessible to lasers. Until recently, scientists didn’t know the size of that jump very well.

At roughly $600, the Thorium Hoody now costs far more than it did a decade ago (I bought it for roughly $300 on sale), and the thought of spending that much is certainly hard to stomach.
