Scientists and engineers have created a carbon-14 diamond battery that has the potential to power devices for thousands of years.
The UK Atomic Energy Authority is calling it a "safe, sustainable way" to provide continuous power.
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) in Culham, Oxfordshire, collaborated with the University of Bristol to make the world’s first carbon-14 diamond battery. Sarah Clark, director of tritium fuel cycle at UKAEA called it a "safe, sustainable way" to provide continuous power. The UK holds almost 95,000 tonnes of graphite blocks and, by extracting carbon-14 from them, their radioactivity decreases, reducing the cost and challenge of safely storing the waste.
