Hunter's comment
We have a lot of nuclear waste from our power stations, and currently it is stored in highly secure locations while it degrades enough to no longer be harmful, which can take thousands of years. A team of scientists at Bristol University have found a clean safe way to reuse that waste. Diamond Batteries last for over 5000 years without being recharged and can be used for things where changing or charging the battery is just not possible or too difficult to do, like pace makers, satellites and spacecraft.
New technology has been developed that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current.

Wow!! It is a good use of something which was useless before. We will be able to convert that waste material to make some productive energy which can last way longer. Really 5000 years? Impressive.
The battery will only have 50 power left after 5000 years, take much longer to drain completely. Thanks for checking it out.

I have read somewhere that nuclear waste will become the power of the future, so I am not surprised. Good hunt!
Wouldn't surprise me either, still a lot of energy left in nuclear waste. Thanks for checking it out.

Batteries made of diamonds? Won't there be heist when this becomes commercially available? 😄
But with the joke aside, this will be very good to recycle nuclear waste into something useful.
I think that are man-made diamonds
Haha! Better to recycle it than stored under look and key for thousands of years. Thanks for checking it out.

See people, you shouldn't blame nuclear energy. You should project it toward greater innovation. Diamonds are just carbon. So if we could 3D print it we'll be able to mass produce these batteries. Excellent Hunt. Hopefully it'll be out of the prototype phase soon.
Moved to the Hive platform.
I agree, was thinking the same when the scientist said about being used in pace makers. Can see it being good for space travel and satellites though. Thanks for checking it out.

oh is a good solution to generate electricity and contribute to the care of the environment, this would be great to apply in countries that work with hydroelectric energy
This is a great product. It will able to help lessen the planets nuclear waste. Also, having a battery made with diamonds, it is sure to be durable. Good find hear, @mrfringe! If the claims were true, this battery is an engineering marvel. 5000 years of battery capacity is absurd. This surely revolutionize battery technology.
I agree, and it lasts a lot longer than 5000 years, that's it's half life. Thanks for checking it out.

it is incredible to see this battery that is made with different products and is aiming to have a long life guarantee
That's great innovation @mrfringe
This concept will reducing of nuclear waste. Give chance for waste the second life, giving benefits for human as energy power resources.
