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 ...

The researchers utilized two common radioactive isotopes found in spent nuclear fuel, cesium-137 and cobalt-60, to test the ...

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

By coring the seabed at 850 m water depth in Disko Bay off Greenland's west coast, researchers from the University of ...

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

The battery produced 288 nanowatts of power when powered by cesium-137 and 1,500 nanowatts when using the more radioactive cobalt-60 isotope — enough to operate microelectronic systems such as ...

Cesium-137, an artificial radioactive substance emitted by atmospheric nuclear tests and nuclear accidents, was detected by an association in dust deposits collected in France during this March 2022 ...

UConn Health’s new research irradiator was installed prior to the removal of the old cesium source irradiators according to UConn Today. Considering the time sensitive nature of radiation based ...
