For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208 (²⁰⁸Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, was perfectly spherical. New research, however, has shattered that assumption. An international team ...

Today, several differing materials and chemistries are employed—or in development— for anodes and cathodes within an electrochemical cell; lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel manganese cobalt ...

The researchers utilized two common radioactive isotopes found in spent nuclear fuel, cesium-137 and cobalt-60, to test the prototype. The results demonstrated that the battery generated 288 ...

Their results showed that when cesium-137 was used, the battery generated 288 nanowatts. Yet with the much stronger isotope cobalt-60, the battery produced 1.5 microwatts of power, about enough to ...
