Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

The team tested the battery prototype with cesium-137 and cobalt-60, common radioactive byproducts of nuclear reactors. Using ...

Chinese researchers have built the country's first nuclear battery using carbon-14, a rare isotope of carbon, which can run ...

Ohio State University researchers develop a battery that converts nuclear waste into electricity using scintillator crystals ...

Nuclear power comes with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions, but has its own issues in the form of radioactive waste.

Scientists have unveiled a radioactive diamond battery that lasts over 5,000 years. Learn how it works, its uses, and when it ...

Many Ways To Split Atoms Nuclear power is often associated with massive power plants, giant cooling towers, and the fear of nuclear meltdown. This is progressively changing thanks to the emergence ...

Researchers have developed a prototype battery that harnesses radiation from nuclear waste to generate electricity, offering a potential ...

The prototype battery, measuring about four cubic centimeters (0.24 cubic inches), was tested with cesium-137 and cobalt-60—both common byproducts of nuclear fission. It generated 288 nanowatts ...

The researchers have shown that ambient gamma radiation (harmful ionizing radiation) could be harvested from nuclear waste ...

X outlines how ambient gamma radiation can be harvested to generate electricity for microelectronics. The prototype battery, measuring just four ...
