Nuclear batteries, Small and More Energy

Along with the trend of mobile devices, the battery needs is necessary. The need for resilience and practicality of the device in the search. If a mobile device using long-lasting battery, the battery on the device, consequently, the more severe. Even the most perngkat mobile, battery weight heavier than the device itself.

To overcome this problem the researchers the University of Missouri (MU) to develop energy storage devices smaller and more practical by using Nuclear technology.

KabarIT launched from munews.missouri.edu, Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU says "To provide enough power, we need specific methods with high energy density, radioisotope batteries can provide power densities six times more higher than the chemical battery. "

People often negative berparsangka with nuclear safety as an energy source. But researchers from Manchester says nuclear battery technology is safe. Kwon has collaborated with J. David Robertson, professor of chemistry and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, and worked to build and test the battery at the facility.

In the future researchers will increase with the decrease battery size. While these nuclear batteries are made to have the size and thickness as a 1-cent coins. These researchers are developing a smaller size with the size of the thickness of a hair. Login
