Due to the fact that the radioisotopes used to power nuclear batteries are generally produced in nuclear reactors, ...

The chemical properties of two of the heaviest synthetic elements, moscovium and nihonium, have been established for the first time. Moscovium is now the heaviest element whose chemical properties we ...

Chinese scientists are leveraging americium, long written off as nuclear waste, as part of a reaction breakthrough that could ...

This device is nuclear- and solar-powered and offers scope for keeping its charge on a decades-long basis. The micronuclear battery incorporates americium 243 isotopes into a luminescent lanthanide ...

The proposed micronuclear battery is made up of americium, a man-made radioactive element produced during the fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear reactors. It is often considered as a ...
