In a groundbreaking 2024 collaboration, University of Bristol and UK Atomic Energy Authority launched the world’s first carbon-14 diamond battery. Boasting a lifespan of 5,700 years, this gem repurposes nuclear waste to power medical devices and spacecraft with microwatt precision. Safely encased in lab-grown diamond, it promises sustainable energy without frequent replacements. While it won’t charge your phone, this long-lasting marvel could revolutionize power solutions for the far future.
