Russia built nuclear batteries that could run for 100 years

The new and ultra-hard carbon material technology institute (TISNCM) in Russia and nuclear battery manufacturing experts can run for 100 years with many applications in space travel and medicine. It can be used for spacecraft flying to Mars.

This battery can be used for spacecraft flying to Mars.

The first version was built with radioactive material Nickel-63 and used Schottky diodes, semiconductor materials from diamonds.

Diamonds can operate at many temperature levels, so they are suitable for use on nuclear spacecraft batteries.

In testing, the new battery generates enough energy to run a pacemaker. This can help produce permanent devices without big changes in size or design.

Nickel-63 emits beta particles when broken down, but according to the research team, it is still safe to use.
