Researchers may have found a way to create a nuclear waste battery that could theoretically run for decades without needing ...

Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

The team tested the battery prototype with cesium-137 and cobalt-60, common radioactive byproducts of nuclear reactors. Using ...

Ohio State University researchers develop a battery that converts nuclear waste into electricity using scintillator crystals ...

Nuclear power comes with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions, but has its own issues in the form of radioactive waste.

Many Ways To Split Atoms Nuclear power is often associated with massive power plants, giant cooling towers, and the fear of nuclear meltdown. This is progressively changing thanks to the emergence ...

Researchers have developed a prototype battery that harnesses radiation from nuclear waste to generate electricity, offering a potential ...

Finland may soon become the first country to develop a permanent way to store spent nuclear fuel by burying it in tunnels ...

The Supreme Court will decide a high-stakes dispute over the storage of highly toxic nuclear waste at privately run U.S.

Plans to transform Hanford, which was integral to the nation’s nuclear arsenal after World War II, had just begun inching ...

The prototype battery, measuring about four cubic centimeters (0.24 cubic inches), was tested with cesium-137 and cobalt-60—both common byproducts of nuclear fission. It generated 288 nanowatts ...

A new study by scientists at Ohio State University (OSU) created a nuclear waste battery by using scintillator crystals—a high-density material that emits light by absorbing gamma radiation, which ...
