China has created an “eternal” nuclear battery for smartphones

Chinese startup Betavolt has created a new “eternal” battery that can generate electricity for 50 years. This is reported by the Independent.

Beijing-based Betavolt said its nuclear battery, which contains 63 nuclear isotopes, represents the world’s first example of nuclear energy miniaturization.

The startup says the next-generation battery has already entered the pilot testing phase and will eventually be mass-produced for commercial applications such as smartphones and drones.
