NDB: Nano Diamond Batteries
California-headquartered company that recycles radioactive graphite from nuclear waste into diamond batteries that never need charging, last for decades and provide more power than lithium-ion by weight, at a cost that is projected to be lower than current batteries.

Our story on NDB's self-charging nuclear diamond batteries generated a lot of heated discussion, so we reached out to the University of Bristol, where the technology was invented, to discover exactly what these diamond betabatteries can and can't do. -
NDB says its nano-diamond batteries will absolutely upend the energy equation, acting like tiny nuclear generators. Cheaper and more powerful than lithium-ion, they can last for thousands of years without ever needing a charge.
