Thorium-229 is a rare isotope of thorium, a radioactive element, that has an extraordinarily low-energy excited state—meaning it can be bumped up to a higher energy level with far less energy than typical nuclear transitions require. This unusual property makes it fundamentally different from most other radioactiv…
