Researchers in Ohio have developed a small battery powered by nuclear waste.

They exposed scintillator crystals that emit light when it absorbs radiation, which is produced by radioactive waste.

Such batteries could be used in environments where nuclear waste is produced, such as nuclear waste storage pools.

The next step involves generating greater watts with scale-up constructs.
