Scientists develop battery that converts nuclear energy into electricity via light emission
85% Informative
Researchers from Ohio State University have developed a battery that converts nuclear energy into electricity using light emission.
The battery's design utilizes high-density scintillator crystals that emit light when exposed to radiation, which is then converted into electricity by solar cells.
While the battery harnesses gamma radiation nearly a hundred times more penetrating than a standard X-ray it does not contain radioactive materials, making it safe to handle.
