Nuclear batteries offer a lifespan that lithium batteries can't match. But don't expect them powering consumer devices ...

But a Chinese company aims to change that. Beijing-based Betavolt has developed an “atomic energy battery” that can generate electricity for half a century automatically, without any charging.

A commercial nuclear battery from City Labs. A Betavoltaic cell is a device that uses a radioactive source of beta particles and a semiconductor p-n junction to generate electricity. Tritium ...

Scientists from across several Chinese institutions have unveiled a new ultra-compact nuclear battery that has the potential to replace the existing power sources used in everyday tech.

Two United States companies have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop a small nuclear battery – named Nickel 63 ...

General Motors is working with Forge Nano, a materials science startup, to find new ways to enhance the performance and ...

Betavolt's nuclear battery lasts 50 years; RF energy harvesting technology promises self-charging batteries for IoT devices.

If you need to send something far from a recharge outlet, then you’re going need a nuclear battery. These long-running power sources come in all shapes and sizes, and have many different methods ...

GM Ventures has invested $10 million in materials science company Forge Nano, which makes Atomic Armor, an innovative EV battery technology.

Building your own nuclear battery is possible, but don’t expect megawatts of output. We’ve been tracking the trend toward microreactors since last year.

The nuclear battery, may have potential to provide reliable power in milliwatts for up to 50 years without requiring recharging, is intended to address critical energy needs across multiple ...
