LGDinTECH Insights: Episode 7
A NUCLEAR Battery INSIDE a Diamond?! ...
In Part 1 of our interview with Manoël Jacquemin, Research Scientist and Engineer at DIAMFAB, we explore the future of diamond semiconductors and their role in a new generation of long-life power sources.
This conversation dives into tritium betavoltaic generators, often described as “nuclear batteries.” These diamond-based devices convert beta radiation into steady electricity in a way that is similar to how solar cells convert light into power.
Manoel also explains how DIAMFAB is advancing diamond semiconductor materials by improving crystal quality and developing doped diamond for electronic components such as diodes and detectors.
This episode is a deep dive into diamond electronics, nuclear battery technology, and the future of reliable power for extreme environments.
