Thorium reactors offer a superior alternative in nuclear power, akin to solid-state batteries, yet have remained largely ...

Chinese scientists have developed a crystal that produces ultraviolet light at a record 145.2 nanometers — meeting a key ...

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 instead of ...

China has just flipped the switch on a revolutionary thorium nuclear reactor that could change the future of energy forever or put our planet at risk. In this video, we explore how China’s new TMSR ...

India has an abundance of thorium reserves. A shift from uranium to thorium as part of the nuclear programme can enable the ...

The United States should focus on deploying uranium-based reactors now, but build its nuclear industrial base in a way that ...

Talk of a large-scale U.S. nuclear renaissance in the post-Three Mile Island era has long been stalled by the high cost of new nuclear power plants, the challenges of safeguarding weapons-grade ...

The Uranium-235 and -238 we use in modern nuclear fission reactors are humanity’s single most energy-dense fuel source (1,546,000,000 MJ/L), but that potent power potential comes at a steep price—and ...

Dr. Anil Kakodkar, former chair of India’s Atomic Energy Commission, joins the podcast to discuss the history and future of ...

NASA’s Lunar Prospector spacecraft mapped lunar elements while orbiting the Moon in 1998 and 1999. Now, a team of scientists led by David Lawrence at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico has ...
