Nuclear Waste and Diamonds Make Batteries that Last 5000 Years

摘要

Researchers in the U.K. announced this week that they've found a way to turn radioactive diamonds into miniature batteries that last 5,000 years. At a prestigious annual lecture event in Europe earlier this week, a team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol unveiled a nuclear-powered diamond battery, which runs off the radioactive energy salvaged from nuclear waste.
