Micronuclear batteries capture energy from the radioactive decay of isotopes, a process often associated with nuclear waste, ...

A miniature and efficient battery developed by researchers in China is not a conventional, every-day source of power. This ...

Nuclear batteries offer a lifespan that lithium batteries can't match. But don't expect them powering consumer devices ...

A major fire erupted at the facility of the municipal company "Chistota" (garbage collecting) in Plovdiv early in the morning. Six firefighting teams were dispatched to extinguish the blaze, but thick ...

Chinese researchers have taken a step towards energy autonomy with the design of a nuclear mini battery. The possibility of a ...

These long-running power sources come in all shapes and sizes, and have many different methods for drawing energy from the ...

Powered by Americium, this new battery reportedly achieves an energy conversion efficiency up to 8,000 times greater than previous models, suggesting it could one day serve as a substitute for ...

A large amount of the extremely expensive metal americium was found during a secret operation of the District Prosecutor's Office in Plovdiv, the Ministry of the Interior and the state agency ...

The device designed and built by the researchers is relatively simple and straightforward. They placed a small amount of americium into a crystal and then used its radiated energy (alpha particles) to ...
