News: Scientists from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) have developed the world’s first Carbon-14 diamond battery.
About Carbon 14 Diamond Battery
- It employs the radioactive decay of Carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,700 years, to generate electricity.
- It is placed in a case of diamond, providing it with strength and resilience.
- The diamond encasing ensures that short range radiation emitted by Carbon 14 does not leak.
- The battery works like a solar panel, but instead of using photons (light particle), it captures fast moving electrons from within the diamond structure to generate electricity.
