something nuclear waste has in abundance. By pairing the crystals with solar cells, the researchers found that there's enough light energy — via gamma radiation-illuminated crystals — to produce ...

“Nuclear waste emits powerful gamma radiation ... a specialized material that absorbs these gamma rays and converts their ...

The team tested the battery prototype with cesium-137 and cobalt-60, common radioactive byproducts of nuclear reactors. Using cesium-137, the battery produced 288 nanowatts of power, while cobalt-60 ...

“The environmental footprint of an energy source, such as its waste, is a big question for many countries ... and new uranium deposits were identified, light water reactors (LWRs) eventually became ...
