First-Ever Diamond Battery Could Last Thousands of Years

"Diamond batteries offer a safe, sustainable way to provide continuous microwatt levels of power," a researcher said.

The article from Newsweek discusses the development of a "diamond battery" by researchers at the University of Bristol, which could potentially last for thousands of years. This innovative battery utilizes the radioactive decay of carbon-14, a process that naturally occurs over millennia, to generate electricity. Carbon-14, found in nuclear waste, is transformed into a diamond form where its decay produces a small electrical current. This technology not only promises an extremely long lifespan but also offers a method to repurpose nuclear waste, reducing its environmental impact. The battery's potential applications include powering spacecraft, medical devices, and even serving as a long-term energy source for remote or harsh environments where traditional batteries would fail. However, the article notes that while the concept is promising, practical and commercial applications are still in the early stages of development.
