As another plus, this carbon-14 is derived from graphite blocks, which are a byproduct of nuclear fission reactors. So, not ...

Scientists have created a diamond battery using carbon-14 that could power devices for thousands of years. The battery has potential applications in medical implants, space technology, and more.

The result is a power source with a half-life of 5,700 years, meaning it could potentially last for tens of thousands of ...

In the vast emptiness of space, Voyager 1 has been faithfully whispering its secrets back to Earth since 1977. But in a little over two decades, its nuclear-powered heart is expected to go dark. What ...

It uses a radioactive isotope embedded in a diamond. This battery has the potential to power devices for thousands of years. Diamond batteries can be used in medical devices such as ocular ...

Presenting the carbon-14 diamond battery, a groundbreaking new source of energy that might change the way we look at energy storage, sustainability, as well as energy needs for space travel. The ...

A diamond anvil is apparently a tiny chamber ... That may not be entirely accurate, but bear with us. Where the potential battery tech comes into play is in that new, bunched-up domino compound.

What if I told you that a battery could last 5,700 years without needing to be recharged? That’s not a typo—this is not ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) have succeeded in producing the world's first carbon-14 diamond battery. The new type of battery has the ...

Long-lasting batteries can have a profound impact on life-saving medical devices and space-based technologies, and a new diamond battery could extend the lives of these power sources by thousands of ...

Scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol in the U.K. have announced the successful development of the world's first nuclear-powered battery. It uses a radioactive isotope embedded in a ...
