For the first time ever, a water-based nuclear battery can be used to generate electrical energy. Scientists are constantly searching for new ways to improve battery life and efficiency. Researchers at the University of Missouri have created a long lasting and more efficient nuclear battery. For generations, scientists have been studying battery technology that generates power from radiation. This battery uses a radioactive isotope called strontium-90 that boosts electrochemical energy in a water-based solution. The common element found in sunscreen, a nano structured titanium dioxide electrode with a platinum coating, collects and converts radioisotope energy into electrical energy. This battery technique could be used in many applications such as a reliable energy source in automobiles and also in complicated applications such as space flight.
