Curie soon found that the element thorium emitted similar radiation.

居里很快发现元素钍会发出类似辐射。

Even though the thorium emits an electron we don't use the usual symbol for electrons.

即使钍发射电子， 我们也不使用通常电子符号。

Using traces of two other elements, uranium and thorium, they were able to date both stalagmites.

利用和钍这两种其他元素痕迹，他们够确定这两种石笋年代。

All this background radiation comes from radon in the air and uranium and thorium in the soil.

所有这些背景辐射都来自空气氡和土壤和钍。

The energy of the gamma-rays, the highest energy form of light, corresponded to thorium, a radioactive element.

马射量是光最高量形式，相当于放射性元素钍。

Intel scientists investigating the problem found that even trace amounts of uranium and thorium in the ceramic were sufficient to cause problems.

调查该问题英特尔科学家发现， 陶瓷即使含有微量和钍也足以引起问题。

The helium nucleus obviously has a plus 2 charge, and the thorium atom would have a negative charge as well.

氦原子核显然带有正 2 电荷， 而钍原子也带有负电荷。

The ages of these flowstones can be determined by the ratio within them of the radioactive elements uranium and thorium.

这些流石年龄可以通过其放射性元素和钍比例来确定。

The alpha particles emitted by uranium and thorium were energetic and ionizing enough to create electron hole pairs in the silicone.

和钍发射阿尔法粒子量大， 电离性强， 足以在硅形成电子空穴对。

Her studies on uranium and thorium led her to deduce that the radiation they emitted was not due to interactions with other elements but was an inherent property of the elements themselves.

她对和钍研究使她推断出它们发出辐射不是由于与其他元素相互作用而产生，而是元素本身固有属性。

So for example, if that uranium atom is at an excited state when it decays in to thorium, it can simultaneous release gamma waves as well as the alpha particle I already mentioned.

因此，例如，如果原子在衰变成钍时处于激发态，它可以同时释放马波以及我已经提到阿尔法粒子。

The Earth's Inner Furnace Earth's internal heat originates from two primary sources: residual heat from the planet's formation around 4.5 billion years ago and heat produced by the decay of radioactive elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium.

地球内部熔炉 地球内部热量有两个主要来源：大约 45 亿年前地球形成时余热，以及、钍和钾等放射性元素衰变产生热量。

" It was one of these oddball places that just stood out like a sore thumb in terms of the thorium abundance, " said Dr. Lawrence, now a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.

“这是一个奇怪地方，在钍丰度方面非常突出，”劳伦斯博士说，他现在是马里兰州约翰·霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室行星科学家。
