Researchers at Ohio State University have developed nuclear battery that can convert atomic waste into electricity.

A working prototype built in Ohio , which is roughly the size of a sugar cube, is capable of producing 1.5 microwatts of power, though larger versions are expected to be able to produce significantly more electricity.

The battery does not incorporate radioactive materials, meaning it is safe to touch.
