The Information Office of the University of Samara Korolev, Russia, announced that its researchers are developing a nuclear power battery that can be used for up to 100 years. Among them, the new technology utilizes a porous silicon carbide structure to protect radioactive elements, allowing nuclear energy batteries to operate for a long time while ensuring safety. It is said that the radioactive source in the new battery utilizes the special element carbon 14, which has a half-life of 5,700 years and is non-toxic and inexpensive. This battery is used in a wide range of applications. The project leader and chief designer Victor Chepnovov pointed out that this battery can be used first in the future "technology" field. “The power supply is compact and suitable for a wide range of sensors in management and control automation systems, including uninterrupted monitoring of oil and gas pipelines in the Siberian, Far East and Arctic regions where humans are rare,†he said. In addition, this new type of battery has broad application prospects in medical, drone, and mechanical manufacturing fields. In the medical field, for heart patients, a pacemaker without a battery replacement is a better choice, because not all patients can withstand the second surgery, sometimes the patient's life depends on the heart pacing. The working cycle of the device. In the field of drones, many developers of unmanned aerial vehicles are very interested in such batteries, because for them, the power supply body is light and the unit power is extremely important to meet the requirements of continuous work. In addition, silicon carbide materials can not only withstand cold, but also withstand high temperatures of nearly 350 degrees Celsius. Sensors equipped with such batteries are also valuable in the field of mechanical manufacturing. Chepnov stressed that the new battery has a long life and is very beneficial for information preservation. “Currently, information is mainly stored on USB drives and hard drives, but they have limited resources. Microprocessors that use this battery can store information for thousands of years.†The advantages of this nuclear battery are environmental protection, low cost and long life. Chepnov said: "The new battery is ecologically safe. The radioisotope carbon 14 used is very weak and can even be blocked by a piece of paper. The isotope is placed in a metal box of the battery to fully control the radiation. Therefore, it is harmless." They plan to produce test samples of this new type of battery this year.
