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 ...

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.

The study, led by scientists at Ohio State University, demonstrates how ambient gamma radiation from nuclear waste can power microelectronics. While the current output is limited to small sensors, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plans to transform Hanford, which was integral to the nation’s nuclear arsenal after World War II, had just begun inching ...

Texas claims the Nuclear Regulatory Commission lacks authority to approve plans. Like a radioactive hot potato, a solution to America's growing stockpile of nuclear waste keeps getting passed around.

A Saint John-based nuclear engineering company says it has hit a milestone in its aim to reduce waste coming from nuclear energy by turning that waste into usable energy. The company — Moltex ...
