At its core, the diamond battery thrives on decay — specifically, the decay of the carbon-14 isotope. Carbon-14 is best known ...

As another plus, this carbon-14 is derived from graphite blocks, which are a byproduct of nuclear fission reactors. So, not ...

The carbon-14 diamond battery, is a groundbreaking discovery that could 5,700 years without ever needing to recharge.

A team of scientists and engineers from two British institutions built the world’s first carbon-14 diamond battery that has the potential to deliver low amounts of power for thousands of years.

What if I told you that a battery could last 5,700 years without needing to be recharged? That’s not a typo—this is not ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) have succeeded in producing the world's first carbon-14 diamond battery. The new type of battery has the ...

So far their prototype uses a nickel-63 source, but they hope to instead take carbon-14 from the huge number ... expense involved limits the number of diamond stories we cover here at Hackaday ...

This new diamond battery acts like a kind of solar panel, but instead of soaking in light, it captures fast-moving electrons from the radioactive decay of carbon-14. These batteries can also be ...
