Scientists develop revolutionary diamond battery using nuclear waste that could power devices for thousands of years, ...

The type of 'hard carbon' that emerges from burned rice hulls can store more than 700 milliampere-hours of energy.

This battery would be powered by a diamond surrounding a radioactive isotope of carbon known as carbon-14. The device would be able to provide power for far longer than modern batteries can ...

To achieve this feat, they used the incredible properties of carbon-14, which is the same isotope typically used for carbon ...

Carbon-14 is best known as the exceptionally useful isotope absorbed from the atmosphere in photosynthesis along with other carbon before slowly decaying. Its predictable decay rates allow ...
