Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

A new study explains how thunderstorm electric fields produce strong gamma‐ray glows with oscillating gamma‐ray rates, and that these oscillations develop into intense pulse trains that closely ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a nuclear waste battery that could theoretically run for decades without needing to recharge.

Gamma rays are the most energizing waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced by some of the most energetic objects in the universe—including black holes, neutron stars ...
