“Surprised it took scientists so long”
I wrote a college paper on this subject in 1977.
“Beta radiation is Electrons. You’d think using isotopes that decayed that way would be the natural choice for batteries.”
It has been for decades. This is not ‘what is most optimum’, it is how do we do it with what we have.
As is so often the case with new technologies, you can be sure pornographers will be first in line for these scintillator crystals.
A little off topic, but when gamma sterilization with cobat-60 was being developed researchers experimented with insane radiation doses.
Like 500-900 kGy.
Needles to say anything that wasn’t ceramic or metal came out as a black crisp.
You couldn’t even use what survived because the packaging was destroyed.
(see my username)
You joking or being honest.
If so I am impressed.
I remember writing a speech for my speech class in college how the equal rights amendment was bad for women.
Good thing it never got passed, bad thing is everything I stated would happen, still did. Today women have lost more rights than gained with this modern day trans crap and men in girls sports and bathrooms.
As I recall, I actually convinced two lesbians in my class I was right. Times were different then, lesbians still defended women’s rights.

That is soooooooo helpful.

By my math, it would take 5,000,000,000,000,000 of them to power a flux capacitor!
“You joking or being honest.”
Honest. It wasn’t a research paper. Just a interesting exercise for a class.
Awesome.
Thanks for getting back

Attempting to directly harness the Beta particles (emitted electrons) would be totally impractical!
It would be tantamount to trying to remove a speck of dust from your eye using a bazooka.
