Thorium is often pitched as the “better nuclear fuel”—safer, cleaner, and more abundant than uranium. But is it truly a game-changer, or just an overhyped talking point that ignores engineering and ...

Thorium is one of the ores available to mine and smelt in Hytale. It's a tricky resource to track down, as you can only find it in a handful of places. It drops from defeating certain enemies, such as ...

In Hytale, looking for thorium is part of the natural progression of the game, as it is the next level up from iron weapons, armor, and tools. However, getting thorium takes a bit more work than its ...

US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) is in the news. NTPC has reportedly agreed to take a minority stake in the nuclear fuel supplier. CCTE has developed a fuel that it calls ANEEL, short for ...

Atomic clocks keep time by counting the ‘ticks’ of electrons moving between two energy levels. Physicists have long wanted to count a nuclear tick instead. A nucleus is more shielded than an atom’s ...

China’s Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) in November reported it had achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion inside an operating molten salt reactor (MSR). The milestone provides the ...

Researchers are looking for new ways to improve timekeeping because even small gains in stability can help physicists discover subtle physical effects. The thorium-229 nuclear clock is a newer venture ...

China’s experimental thorium molten salt reactor has reportedly achieved sustained thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, marking a major scientific first. The breakthrough could ease China’s dependence ...

RSS has reiterated its stance in favor of ensuring India’s energy security by moving towards thorium-based nuclear energy. (Sanghnomics is a weekly column that tracks down and demystifies the economic ...

China has unveiled critical details of a revolutionary cargo ship under development: a nuclear-powered vessel that can carry 14,000 standard shipping containers. But what makes this ship truly ...

Chinese scientists successfully converted thorium-232 into uranium-233 within an experimental thorium molten salt reactor, validating the technical feasibility of the thorium fuel cycle. This ...

The experimental TMSR-LF1 thorium-powered molten salt reactor in Wuwei, Gansu Province, has achieved the first successful conversion of thorium-uranium nuclear fuel, the Shanghai Institute of Applied ...
