Artificial diamonds that can generate electric power for over 5,000 years

This is amazing. Yesterday researchers at the University of Bristol reported success in converting nuclear waste into artificial diamonds that can then generate electric power for over 5,000 years.

The researchers worked out how to heat radioactive waste from nuclear reactors, turn the radioactive carbon into gas, and then how to collect and compress the gas into a safe diamond battery.

As University of Bristol Professor, Tom Scott, explains: “There are no moving parts involved, no emissions...
