Canada-based Power Metals is working to develop the Case Lake project in north-eastern Ontario, close to the border with Quebec. The project, which could enter production in the second half of 2026, ...

Radioactive caesium 137 has a half-life of 30.17 years, and its accumulation in organisms in exposed regions, such as around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, amplifies the hazard it poses. A new ...

In 2011, the NPL caesium fountain primary frequency standard (NPL-CsF2) was hailed as the most accurate long-term timekeeper in the world, as it would lose or gain only one second in 138 million years ...

The creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensate made of caesium atoms should provide fresh insights into the quantum properties of matter and improve existing metrological techniques based on ...

World's largest pollucite-hosted caesium pegmatite deposit confirmed at the Shaakichiuwaanaan Project, with a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("Caesium Zone MRE") of: Caesium is a high-value, rare, ...

Dr Jacinda Ginges, from UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, said the unusual atom – made up of an ordinary caesium atom and an elementary particle called a muon – may prove essential in better ...

Ken Brinsden, President, CEO, and Managing Director, comments: "The confirmation of widespread pollucite mineralization - the optimal host mineral for caesium - at the Vega and Rigel zones marks ...

Australia's first commercial caesium mine was officially opened yesterday in Western Australia. It makes the Sinclair project, owned by Pioneer Resources, 40km north of Norseman just the third mine of ...

Progress in the field of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) continues apace with the announcement that physicists in Innsbruck have made a condensate with caesium for the first time. The news from ...

Caesium is the chemical element that has literally redefined time. All your life you'll have been told the importance of being on time. Well, thanks to caesium the entire world now keeps time so ...
