Scientists and engineers produce world's first carbon-14 diamond battery with potential lifespan of thousands of years

“Diamond batteries offer a safe, sustainable way to provide continuous microwatt levels of power. They are an emerging technology that use a manufactured diamond to safely encase small amounts of carbon-14,” said Sarah Clark, Director of Tritium Fuel Cycle at UKAEA.

I could be way out in left field here, but the way I interpreted it was there would be carbon-14 put directly into a diamond shell, encasing it. Not the carbon in the actual diamond but pure carbon-14 encased in a diamond.

I am completely misreading this?

        I would be curious about the power sources they could use at that size - RL - 11/27/2024 4:38:39 AM

        I would think a 1 gram (5 carat) diamond could contain a very large amount of carbon-14 - BuckGalaxy - 12/20/2024 3:47:06 AM
