Beijing startup Betavolt Technology unveiled the BV100, a coin sized nuclear battery powered by Nickel 63 decay and diamond semiconductors. 50 to 100 years. No charging. Solid state. Non flammable. Implications: Implants that never need replacement. Aerospace systems that run for decades. Ultra long life sensors and defense tech. If this scales, energy storage stops being a recharge problem. It becomes a materials science race.
