World’s First Nuclear-Powered Diamond Battery Can Power Devices for Millennia
The world’s first nuclear-powered battery has been developed by researchers at the University of Bristol, offering an incredible lifespan of thousands of years. Using carbon-14, a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 5,730 years, embedded within a diamond structure, the battery generates energy without requiring motion or maintenance. Short-ra...

Indian Researchers Develop Energy-Efficient Method to Create Glass, Could Improve Efficiency of Data Centres
Scientists from IISc, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT reveal a breakthrough with indium selenide that transforms crystalline structures to glass using significantly less energy. By passing a continuous electric current, the crystalline material experiences a “shock” that converts it to glass. The low energy requirement could help lower powe...
