Future smartphones might never need charging again thanks to this battery
A Chinese company is working on a miniature nuclear battery for various devices, including smartphones.
The initial model, BV100, is a tiny 15 x 15 x 5mm battery providing 100 microwatts of electricity using radioactive decay, a novel approach typically deemed risky due to materials like Plutonium. Betavolt envisions smartphones that stay charged forever with a nuclear battery, potentially rendering your favorite USB-C chargers useless in the future. According to Betavolt, these atomic energy batteries will be the go-to solution for endless power supply in all sorts of scenarios—think aerospace, AI gear, medical equipment, small drones, sensors, and micro-robots.
