World's First 5,700-Year-Lifespan Nuclear Diamond Battery Revealed by UK Researchers

^{Published on 2024-12-26 10:42:26 - MSN}

So many of our devices rely on batteries. However, they typically have a short lifespan, adding to the issue with waste products. Thankfully, scientists from the UK Atomic Energy Authority and the University of Bristol have just created the first carbon-14 diamond battery in the world.

UK researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking nuclear diamond battery with an astonishing lifespan of 5,700 years, potentially revolutionizing energy storage and usage. This innovative battery utilizes the decay of nuclear waste, specifically carbon-14, which is transformed into synthetic diamonds through a process developed by the University of Bristol and the University of Southampton. These diamonds, when exposed to a high-energy particle beam, generate electricity through the interaction of the radioactive particles with the diamond's lattice structure. The battery promises not only an incredibly long life but also high energy density, safety, and environmental benefits by repurposing nuclear waste. This technology could lead to applications in space exploration, medical devices, and potentially as a sustainable energy source for remote or harsh environments where traditional batteries fail.
