Good news! Quite an amazing approach!
Marilyn Monroe might sing again diamonds are a girl's best friend! Just kidding!
"This new type of battery has the potential to power devices for thousands of years, making it an incredibly long-lasting energy source. ...
The carbon-14 diamond battery works by using the radioactive decay of carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,700 years, to generate low levels of power. It functions similarly to solar panels, which convert light into electricity, but instead of using light particles (photons), they capture fast-moving electrons from within the diamond structure. ..."
"... “Diamond batteries offer a safe, sustainable way to provide continuous microwatt levels of power. They are an emerging technology that use a manufactured diamond to safely encase small amounts of carbon-14,” ..."
Scientists and engineers produce world's first carbon-14 diamond battery with potential lifespan of thousands of years (original news release) "Scientists and engineers from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and have successfully created the world’s first carbon-14 diamond battery."
Diamonds are forever? World-first carbon-14 diamond battery made (original news release) "The world's first carbon-14 diamond has been produced with the potential to provide power for thousands of years."
