TECH NEWS: Nuclear battery small enough for use in commercial products, with a charge of 50 years, developed in China.
Such batteries use small amounts of nuclear material in a way entirely different than nuclear powerplants associated with danger and disasters.
The power density and charge of these new batteries are many times higher/longer than lithium batteries and could revolutionize both existing products and make entirely new products possible.
The article says:
Once mass-produced and introduced to the market, it will meet the long-endurance power supply needs of aerospace, artificial intelligence devices, medical equipment, microelectromechanical systems, sensors, small drones and micro-robots. If the power output is sufficient, mobile phones equipped with nuclear batteries will no longer need recharging, and drones will not need to return for recharging."Link: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202401/16/WS65a68ff7a3105f21a507c9b7.html
