UK Scientists Unveil Carbon-14 Diamond Battery Promising 5,700 Years of Power from Nuclear Waste
Dec 10, 2024, 10:59 AM
Scientists at the UK Atomic Energy Authority and Bristol University have developed the world's first carbon-14 diamond battery, which harnesses the radioactive decay of carbon-14 to generate electricity. This innovative battery is capable of providing power for an estimated 5,700 years, marking a significant advancement in battery technology. The diamond battery is designed to utilize waste from nuclear processes, potentially offering a sustainable energy solution. This development comes as the demand for long-lasting energy storage solutions increases, particularly in the context of reducing carbon emissions associated with conventional battery production methods.
