So is this basically a charge based version of a RTG (hence the diamond semiconductor)? Edit: apparently these devices are called betavoltaics

- ncmncm 6y agoHigh energy electrons make their own current, no heat needed. But if you put it in a phone, the phone will be permanently warm. Betting these will end up in pacemakers & telemetry only, but not for any legitimate reason.
