Tiny Nuclear Batteries to Power Micro Devices


Typical chemical batteries just don't cut it when a device needs to run for years without fail. Enter the betavoltaics, or tiny nuclear batteries that harvest energy from radioactive sources such as tritium.

  1. I have heard about these amazing little batteries, but have never gotten a chance to see one before. It is incredible how small and precise the unit is, and what the capabilities of Nano-technology are. Just the color of a substance at a nano-level can be mind blowing sometimes.
