Scientists Reveal Battery That Can Be Powered by Nuclear Waste
Nuclear energy may be clean, but its radioactive waste remains a challenge. Now, researchers have found a way to repurpose that waste—by using it to power tiny batteries. A new study shows how gamma radiation from nuclear byproducts can generate electricity for microelectronics, a breakthrough that could lead to ultra-low-maintenance sensors. While still in its early stages, the concept has potential applications near nuclear facilities and even in space. If scaled up, it could make nuclear power not just cleaner, but more efficient. Get the full story from David Nield writing for Science Alert.
