'Diamond-age' of power generation as nuclear batteries developed
Nuclear-powered battery: Scientists are turning nuclear waste into super-efficient diamond batteries
New technology has been developed that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current. The development could solve some of the problems of nuclear waste, clean electricity generation and battery life.
