Nuclear diamond battery: The future of batteries?

 

Recently I read news about the nuclear diamond battery. Basically, it is a battery developed by NDB in the United States, made from nuclear waste and can last over 10 years without one single charge. Let me explain to you all how it worked:  The nano-diamond battery will absorb carbon-14 from the graphite which is a recycled nuclear waste. When the graphite decays it will produce a small current to power things up. 

Can you ever imagine that if this battery is used in modern-day smartphones or laptops or electric cars that will last longer than a decade without one single charge? You can read your Instagram or twitter tweets for a whole day without worrying to charge again. Or you can drive all night long in your electric car all over the world enjoying some breathtaking views outside the window without worrying where's the next charging spot. Isn't that amazing?

All of these will happen in the future someday if NDB manages to successfully develop the battery. Yes, for now, that battery is still in development. But Humans are smart enough to pull that off quicker, Don't you think?

But there's still a negative side on this. As I mentioned, the battery is made from recycled nuclear waste. Nuclear waste won't be good for your health. You might want to be very careful with it, cause god knows what will happen if it snaps and those waste breathing in the fresh air. So this is just something that the manufacturer or you might want to be careful about. 

So if you want to know more about this battery please stay tuned and I'll post updates on this battery on my blog in the future. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
