China has unveiled a nuclear-powered battery designed to last up to 50 years without recharging. The battery uses radioactive isotopes that release energy, which is then converted into electricity through specialized semiconductor technology. Unlike traditional nuclear sources, it is sealed and engineered to eliminate radiation risks, making it safe for use in small devices such as sensors, medical implants, and electronics.
Researchers highlight that this innovation could transform how we power portable devices. Instead of relying on frequent charging or disposable batteries, this technology offers a stable and long-lasting energy source. If commercialized at scale, it could reduce electronic waste and provide energy security in remote or critical environments. Reports from the Chinese company Betavolt and research publications confirm that this battery is in the prototype stage and undergoing testing for practical applications.
