The model, known as a moment tensor potential system, provides information on atoms’ complex interactions. This revolutionary ...

Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...

So too for molten salt reactors (MSRs), which saw Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) create a number of prototypes, starting in 1954 when the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) reached first ...

The United States has made history by becoming the first nation to use cutting-edge molten salt reactor technology to produce freshwater from scratch. This ground-breaking invention, which uses ...

A novel small modular reactor design will use its waste heat to desalinate water produced in Texan oil and gas wells.

It's a research reactor cooled with molten salt, not water. The fuel is liquid, not solid - two major differences from the hundreds of reactors generating electricity around the world today.

Researchers from Skoltech and the Institute of High Temperature Electrochemistry of UB RAS have developed and tested a model based on machine learning that predicts the properties of molten salts.

Copenhagen Atomics is a Danish molten salt technology company developing mass manufacturable molten-salt reactors. The reactor type invented by Copenhagen Atomics is a thorium molten salt breeder ...

Significant advancements in nuclear power are being made right in West Texas with Natura Resources’ molten salt research reactor currently under construction at Abilene Christian University.

China is looking to make molten salt and thorium reactors as part of the plan. China built a prototype of a thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) with a capacity of 2 MW began in September 2018 and was ...
