5,000 years of Battery Life: Nuclear Waste-Formed Radioactive Diamonds Provide Long-Lasting Energy

5,000 years of Battery Life: Nuclear Waste-Formed Radioactive Diamonds Provide Long-Lasting Energy

Scientists have discovered a way to convert nuclear waste into radioactive black diamond batteries which last more than 5,000 years. Researchers at the University of Bristol have found a means of creating a battery capable of generating clean electricity for five millennia, or as long as human civilization has existed. Scientists found that by heating…
