  • Su-Il In is developing innovative nuclear batteries using radiocarbon, offering a long-lasting, eco-friendly alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

The article from MSN discusses the development of nuclear batteries, which aim to provide a long-lasting, recharge-free power solution. These batteries utilize the energy from radioactive decay to generate electricity, offering a potential breakthrough in energy storage and supply. Unlike traditional batteries, nuclear batteries could last for decades without needing a recharge, making them ideal for applications where maintenance is difficult or impossible, such as in space missions, deep-sea exploration, or medical devices implanted in the body. The technology involves converting the energy released from nuclear decay into electrical power through processes like betavoltaics or alphavoltaics. While the concept isn't new, recent advancements are focusing on making these batteries safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly, addressing concerns about radiation and waste. The article highlights ongoing research and development efforts, with companies and research institutions exploring ways to miniaturize these power sources and reduce their environmental impact, potentially revolutionizing how we think about energy in remote or extreme environments.
