A crystalline tri-thorium cluster: σ-aromaticity vs charge-shift bonding [PDF]
, 2022 Very recently, Boronski et al. reported the first thorium-thorium bond in a crystalline cluster prepared under normal experimental conditions. By using a range of experimental techniques and computational models, the authors found that the isolated ...

An overview of thorium as a prospective natural resource for future energy
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2023 Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that has been identified as a potential alternative fuel for nuclear energy production. Additionally, thorium-based nuclear reactors have inherent safety features that reduce the risk of nuclear ...

A molecular dynamics study of the thermal properties of thorium oxide [PDF]
, 2012 There is growing interest in the exploitation of the thorium nuclear fuel cycle as an alternative to that of uranium. As part of a wider study of the suitability of thorium dioxide (thoria) as a nuclear fuel, we have used molecular dynamics to ...

How does dynamical spatial variability impact 234Th-derived estimates of organic export? [PDF]
, 2012 In this study we first evaluate the small-scale spatial variability of particulate export, using a set of synoptic thorium-234 activity observations sampled within a one-degree radius.

Landscape control of uranium and thorium in boreal streams – spatiotemporal variability and the role of wetlands [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 The concentrations of uranium and thorium in ten partly nested streams in the boreal forest region were monitored over a two-year period. The investigated catchments ranged from small headwaters (0.1 km<sup>2</sup>) up to a fourth-order ...
