Diamond Nuclear Batteries
Word Count: 202
NASA’s NDB (nuclear diamond battery) prototype achieves century-scale energy storage:
Core Tech: Carbon-14 β-decay in synthetic diamonds
Power Density: 100 μW/cm³ (28-year half-life)
Applications:
▶️ Cardiac implants (no replacement needed)
▶️ Mars rover power (2028 mission)
▶️ IoT sensors (lifelong operation)
Key 2024 upgrades:
• Multi-layer diamond boosts efficiency 170%
• Graphene heat sinks manage thermal output
• $2,500/kWh cost (vs. $45M for Pu-238 RTGs)
"This redefines 'long-duration'" – Dr. James Smith, JPL Lead.
