What if we could turn nuclear waste into the world's most reliable battery? In this episode, Albany Adams and Grace Shelly decode the fascinating world of Nuclear Diamond Batteries. We’re looking at the betavoltaic technology that allows synthetic diamonds to capture the energy of decaying Carbon-14 and turn it into electricity.

We investigate how these "forever batteries" are revolutionizing power for medical implants and deep-space exploration, the science that makes them incredibly safe, and the market trends that suggest a "Diamond Age" of power is on the horizon. It’s a story of extreme recycling and the quest for a power source that literally lasts for millennia.
