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

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

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

“Nuclear waste emits powerful gamma radiation ... a specialized material that absorbs these gamma rays and converts their energy into visible light — similar to how glow-in-the-dark objects ...

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

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