Such a power source would therefore be orders of magnitude more efficient than many other theoretical power sources, including controlled artificial nuclear fusion (though waste, in that case ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...

Sensor degradation poses a critical yet often overlooked challenge in accurately predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) ...

On the other hand, a nuclear battery uses the radioactive nature of isotopes to generate electricity. Since the half-life of ...

One of the consequences of the boom in artificial intelligence is the need for more electricity. The data centers that house the computers that crunch the numbers gobble up a lot of power.

All types of radiation become less intense as they travel further away from the radioactive material. This is because the particles or rays become more spread out. The thicker the substance ...

SAN FRANCISCO — New data suggest that lenacapavir delivered just once per year could be as effective for HIV prevention as the twice-yearly injections already under review by the FDA.
