    New Nuclear Diamond Battery

    This has incredible potential. My concern is how do they contain the radioactive material so that it cannot be released into the environment.

    Reminds me of a Tom Cruise/Uma Thurman movie where he tracks down such a powerful battery, which degrades and detonates.

    I think batteries will be one of the things we'll make more efficiently and effectively within a few years.

    I am sure you are right. The rewards of such a development will fuel the search. Imagine a power grid that includes high efficiency batteries that can be charged by solar and wind for those times that the sun doesn't shine and the winds don't blow
