Thu, April 24, 2025 at 6:00 PM UTC It is possible to recycle the U-233 decay into new fuel, or continue fueling the machine with it as is, the latter of which is usually done with molten salt reactors ...

Physicists are getting closer to creating a long-sought ‘nuclear clock’. This device would keep time by measuring energy transitions in the nuclei of atoms and could become the ...

With rising global LPG supply concerns, experts suggest that India's vast thorium reserves could ensure energy ...

Thorium could help India cut energy imports and boost self-reliance as LPG supply risks rise, with experts urging faster execution of the nuclear programme.

Unless you're really into trivia about gas lanterns and the mantles that make their light so bright, you've probably never heard of thorium, but you may hear a lot more about it in the future. This ...

India holds the world's largest thorium reserves, and developing technologies to use them could not only strengthen energy ...
