How safe are they really? Imagine carrying a nuclear reactor in your pocket. Additionally, how will we dispose of them safely, or are we looking at a catastrophic environmental disaster in a few years?
Nuclear batteries, also known as radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), have been used in space exploration missions due to their reliability and long lifespan. RTGs convert the heat generated by radioactive decay into electricity, offering high energy density and low maintenance requirement... Read more
Researchers at Korea's Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology have created a nuclear battery that could turn radiation directly into electricity for decades – but without all the scary stuff associated with nuclear radiation.
(WHTM) — Eye black is one of the most common accessories football players wear during games, but not everyone knows why. According to Mental Floss, the underlying concept behind eye black is that it reduces the amount of glare that reaches the player’s eyes. The site says the color black absorbs... Read more

After two decades of questions about their reliability and concerns they will entail a new wave of government regulation, personalized smart guns may finally become available to US consumers. Let’s see what features these smart weapons offer and evaluate how useful they would actually be:
Smart guns have mainly been the stuff of movies. In the real world, technological and political challenges have meant the high-tech devices haven’t become a reality. That may be about to change.
Back in 2018, Italy’s Samuel Mello Medeiros hit Kickstarter with a big ol’ digital back for classic film cameras, followed by the next generation in 2020. Now the team has returned with a slicker proposition, a “high-quality digital film roll” called the I’m Back Film.
Norway’s prime minister and crown prince were sweating like everyone else, zipped into their survival suits as they boarded helicopters to see the future.
Getting a solar array to track the sun has always been an interesting problem, and it has led to some complicated solutions. Controllers that use GPS and servos seem to be much in favor these days,…
Created by scientists in Korea, the shape-transformable 3D PV system is claimed to be able to increase electricity yield by 60% over a day compared to a fixed flat panel due to the shorter shadow length and the bifacial effect obtained during shape transformation. The proposed system doesn’t need ... Read more
Double-sided solar panels that track the sun as it moves in the sky would produce 35 per cent more energy and reduce the average cost of electricity by 16 per cent
What’s cooler than a rotating house? One whose solar panels produce five times the energy the house uses. That’s pretty incredible, considering that even zero-energy structures are rare. German architect Rolf Disch built the home, called Heliotrope, to follow the sun throughout the day. The stru... Read more
There was also this. Don’t know what happened to it, though.
There was a Kickstarter campaign a while back for a smart belt that can charge phones.
I would choose the belt charger over any of these travel power banks.
How safe are they really? Imagine carrying a nuclear reactor in your pocket. Additionally, how will we dispose of them safely, or are we looking at a catastrophic environmental disaster in a few years?
NASA is already using them to power spacecraft for deep space missions.
The batteries have the potential to transform the transportation industry, especially in the realm of electric vehicles.
Nuclear batteries can revolutionise energy storage. Imagine going for decades without needing to charge your devices.
A Chinese company claims to have developed a nuclear battery.
Researchers have been studying nuclear batteries for some time, and they may become available on the market sooner rather than later.
