Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely ...

Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually electricity. While this concept sounds similar to that of a nuclear power plant, RTGs work on a different ...

Powering spacecraft with solar energy may not seem like a challenge, given how intense the Sun's light can feel on Earth. Spacecraft near the Earth ...

According to a news release from Northwest Normal University in Gansu province's capital of Lanzhou, researchers from the ...

Zhulong-1 is named after the mythical Chinese dragon deity symbolizing eternal light and energy. "The technology allows for ...

Battery based on carbon is designed to last 50 years and could be used to power pacemakers, spacecraft and devices in extreme ...

US-based radioisotope producer Nusano, and Atomiq – a subsidiary of Kronos Advanced Technologies – have signed a ...

Researchers have developed a prototype battery that harnesses radiation from nuclear waste to generate electricity, offering a potential ...

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

"We're really trying to understand the structure of atomic nuclei, which are quantum systems," said Allmond, who is both an experimentalist and a theorist. "They can be excited, and they can decay.
