According to foreign media reports, a research team affiliated with multiple institutions in China has developed ultra-small nuclear batteries, which are said to be 8000 times more efficient than previous similar batteries.
Related papers were published in the journal Nature.
, (Source: nature) For decades, researchers have been looking for ways to create small nuclear power packs.
These devices can power almost any device, such as phones, robots and cars.
However, regardless of their size, the inherent dangers of nuclear power installations hinder the development process.
One approach is to develop devices powered by batteries charged through nuclear materials.
Such devices tend to be smaller in size to reduce the amount of nuclear material required.
This reduces the potential electricity they can generate and is very inefficient.
