Researchers from Ohio State University have announced the development of a battery powered by nuclear waste. Aerospace engineer Ibrahim Oksuz emphasized that in the future, this method could be implemented on a larger scale. Using gamma radiation emitted from nuclear waste, the team from Ohio State University generated energy that could power microchips. Although the current system is only capable of powering small sensors, scientists believe it could be scaled up in the future. Nuclear engineer Raymond Cao from the research team stated, “We are trying to turn something considered as waste into a useful source.” Aerospace engineer Ibrahim Oksuz from Ohio State University highlighted the potential for this method to be applied on a larger scale in the future, saying, “The concept of a nuclear battery is very promising. There are many areas for improvement, but I believe that this method will play a significant role in energy generation and sensor technology in the future.”
