A Chinese company has presented a revolutionary miniature atomic energy battery that could potentially produce energy stably and autonomously for around 50 years, without any maintenance whatsoever. Should this technology be developed further, it could do away with the need to recharge electric devices ever again.
Betavolt Technology has developed a miniature atomic energy battery. It works on the principle of using the energy released by the decay of nuclear isotopes from thin sheets of nickel 63 (2 micrometers thick) and converting it into electrical energy using semiconductors, in this case diamond.
