Developed by Beijing based company Betavolt, the device uses Nickel 63 and a betavoltaic process to convert radioactive decay directly into electricity.
Unlike traditional lithium batteries, it does not depend on chemical reactions and is designed to remain stable in extreme temperatures.
According to company reports, the BV100 battery is aimed at low power applications such as medical implants, space technology, and remote sensors.
Nuclear batteries have been studied for decades in global research programs, especially in aerospace missions, but this level of miniaturization marks a significant step. Independent scientific validation and long term safety testing will determine its real world impact and adoption.
