Atomic clocks are the best timekeepers humanity's got these days, but scientists are working toward something even better: a SUB-atomic (aka nuclear) clock.

Hank addresses a highly requested topic - liquid fluoride thorium reactors - and tells us how LFTR might be the future of energy in ... China?

A lot of what we know about ancient human civilizations comes from the things they leave behind. But sometimes, humans don’t live in places long enough to leave these clues. So, some researchers have turned to techniques outside...

Garik Israelian is a spectroscopist, studying the spectrum emitted by a star to figure out what it's made of and how it might behave. It's a rare and accessible look at this discipline, which may be coming close to finding a planet...

Nuclear energy has a bit of a bad rap, but there's an element out there that might make them safer and more efficient.

With scientists’ efforts and their creativity, we finally found “the real philosopher’s stone.” That's right, we can now turn lead into gold... a little bit.

The perfect balance of radioactive elements inside planets like ours might make it habitable, and researchers are challenging some ideas about how Mars is losing its water.

This video covers: - What alpha, beta and gamma radiation are - How to write decay equations for them General info: - Suitable for all GCSE and IGCSE courses - Suitable for higher and foundation tiers - Suitable for triple and combined...

Having completed its construction in the Gobi Desert, China will test a thorium-powered nuclear reactor in the next two weeks.

It's time to check out Group 18 on the periodic table, the noble gases. This includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and oganesson. What can we say about their properties, reactivities, and applications? Let's find out!

Helium is a chemical element that is the second most abundant in the universe. It is a noble gas, known for its low reactivity and lightness. Helium is widely used for inflating balloons and airships, as well as in various medical and...

An experimental reactor developed in the Gobi Desert by the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has achieved thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, paving the way for an almost endless supply of nuclear energy.

We investigate the consequences of NATO weapon tests on the Mediterranean island.

Santillana del Mar (Spain), 15 Jun (EFE).- A group of scientists from nine different institutions have shown that Paleolithic cave paintings from the Altamira, El Castillo and Tito Bustillo caves, using the uranium thorium method, which...
