Would you agree that cell phones have been our ultimate saviours in recent times? Undoubtedly, smartphones are very important when traveling, because you want to connect with your loved ones, navigate crowded city streets, capture memories, and have a good time playing games. Can you think about your life without a smartphone? Almost none of us can. Everything from our plans and objectives, routines and ideas, entertainment and work, in brief, our whole lives are strongly connected to smartphones nowadays. Right?

 But suddenly, in the middle of your dream adventure, your phone battery dies out. What would you do then? Unfortunately, ‘smartphone battery struggles’ like this are too common these days. There are several practical methods for extending the battery’s life. Besides all these tips, today’s technology provides us with the most innovative and advanced solutions.

The Everlasting Power Supply

It is exciting news for all smartphone enthusiasts that Betavolt, a Chinese start-up, has come forward to eliminate all such technological hassles. They have developed an ‘immortal’ battery that can keep cellphones powered for 50 years or more without needing to be charged externally or frequently. Utilizing 63 isotopes arranged in a constrained space smaller than a coin, this miniature “atomic energy system” is preparing for a revolutionary breakthrough.

Extraordinary Benefits Of Nuclear Batteries

These atomic energy-operated batteries have diverse benefits, according to the company authorities. They claim that this battery can power microprocessors, advanced sensors, tiny drones, micro-robots, medical gadgets, and aeronautical equipment.

Working Mechanism

The energy released by isotopes during decay is then transformed into electric current and used to operate various gadgets. The battery’s first experiment has already been conducted on different devices. 

Safety Concerns

Nickel 63, a radioactive element, is also used to produce this super-powered battery. You might be wondering if these batteries are safe to use. The manufacturers insist that the multi-layer design of the battery ensures safety against explosions and burns. It can function normally even when it is exposed to high temperatures.  

The manufacturers also address the concerns about radiation. Reportedly, it is said that the battery can be used in devices like pacemakers that are surgically inserted into the human body. The isotopes become non-radioactive once the decay period ends and undergo stable transformation. Because of this, there will be no environmental threat or pollution. 

The available information suggests that the company aims to develop 1W nuclear batteries by  2025. There will be no need for chargers or portable power banks once the installation is complete. This battery-operated equipment can have a longer lifespan, less degradation, and more efficiency.

 Let us wait and see how these nuclear batteries will alter the future of technology.
