Researchers are always developing better battery technologies, hoping to find ones that last a long time and never need to be recharged—and this month, we have yet another exciting breakthrough. South ...

Now, researchers are considering radiocarbon as a source for safe, small and affordable nuclear batteries that could last decades or longer without charging. Sometimes cell phones die sooner than ...

However, with repeated use, batteries degrade and need to be recharged more frequently. Now, researchers are considering radiocarbon as a source for safe, small and affordable nuclear batteries that ...

Basically, anywhere you desperately want to avoid frequent battery replacement. Nuclear batteries will become even more relevant as the world continues to decarbonize while also becoming ...

A small prototype nuclear battery powered by a radioactive form of carbon can safely power devices for decades – and possibly even for a user’s entire lifetime – on a single charge ...

A team led by Su-Il In, a professor at South Korea's Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, is developing an innovative solution: radiocarbon-powered nuclear batteries that could ...

The fire was sparked by a lithium-ion battery that was wrongly delivered to our facility. Lithium batteries, which are used in items ranging from electronics and toys to appliances and electric ...

RTGs are essentially nuclear-powered batteries. But unlike the AAA batteries in your TV remote, RTGs can provide power for decades while hundreds of millions to billions of miles from Earth.
