A new study has revealed the development of a long-lasting and more efficient nuclear battery using a water-based solution to generate electrical energy.
Researchers at the University of Missouri have invented a type of battery that could be used for many applications such as a reliable energy source in automobiles and also in complicated applications such as space flight.
Researcher Jae W Kwon said that betavoltaics, a battery technology that generates power from radiation, has been studied as an energy source since the 1950s.
Kwon added that controlled nuclear technologies are not inherently dangerous and that, people already have many commercial uses of nuclear technologies in their lives including fire detectors in bedrooms and emergency exit signs in buildings.
