- a new type of battery capable of powering machinery continuously for up to 5,700 years British scientists have managed to create a thousand—year-old diamond battery - a new type of battery capable of powering machinery continuously for up to 5,700 years.
Details:
— It is based on the Carbon isotope. Energy is generated by radioactive decay, which releases fast-moving electrons.;
— Scientists have discovered that in combination with diamond, the compound retains its properties for up to 5,700 years.
In simple terms:
— Charging is no longer required: phones, drones, gamepads will work continuously and will not turn off at the most crucial moments;
— The battery can work even in the most extreme conditions: sudden changes in altitude, temperature and voltage;
— Even after thousands of years, the battery will retain half of its capacity.
The first such battery may be released in a couple of years.
