WOW. I always expected that we would see mobile phones that lasted for days or weeks before needing to be recharged. I never once considered the idea that we may have mobile phones and laptops that NEVER need to be recharged during our lifetime. That is an incredible thought.
I wonder how hard it will be to convince people to put nuclear batteries in their pocket. Many people are still afraid of microwave ovens.
- givinguflac 10y agoIt does sound incredible, but I don't think most people would be down with carrying nuclear waste in their pockets.
- nathan_f77 10y agoMany of us already carry around lithium ion batteries in our pockets, and I think these nuclear batteries could be far less dangerous. Phones can explode without warning, and bending or piercing a battery can cause huge explosions and fires. You'd have to try really hard to shatter these diamonds, and they would probably have some lead lining.
- enraged_camel 10y agoSure, it's easy to say that as an engineer since we deal with facts and data, but the general public is anywhere from wary to extremely scared of anything "nuclear."
