Chinese scientists build a nuclear battery that lasts thousands of years
SMRTR summary
Chinese researchers built a nuclear battery called Qianjiyuan Tianshu using carbon-14 and a silicon carbide transducer. Roughly one cubic inch in size, it delivers 2.6 times more power than its predecessor while using 15 times less material — and with carbon-14's 5,730-year half-life, it could last thousands of years.
