Betavolt, a Chinese startup, claims to have successfully developed a revolutionary coin-sized battery capable of generating electricity for an impressive 50 years without the need for recharging or maintenance.
This innovative nuclear battery, smaller than a typical coin, incorporates 63 isotopes and is currently undergoing testing for mass production, with expectations for its availability in the market soon.
Betavolt asserts that its nuclear battery marks a historic milestone as the world’s first to achieve the miniaturization of atomic energy.
The company envisions a broad range of applications for this cutting-edge technology, including aerospace, artificial intelligence equipment, medical devices, microprocessors, advanced sensors, small drones, and micro-robots.
Apart from its long-lasting power capabilities, the nuclear battery is also touted as environmentally friendly and safe for use in sensitive medical devices such as pacemakers.
Betavolt’s groundbreaking achievement holds promise for ushering in a new era of energy solutions with extended lifespans and diverse applications across various industries.
