What's the specific energy and power? If it isn't terrible, could be very good for things like spacecraft.
With all the CCP misinformation about them making 5nn chips, this could be another bullshit tech coming from the CCP.
Deep space probes are already nuclear power sources.
Right now this is mostly a radio isotope heat source and a peltier device to convert the temperature differential to electricity.
Yeah, RTDs. But I don't know if these semi conductor based ones would have better performance.
According to the article, it outputs 100 micro watts at 3 volts. Apparently for 50 years.
So less than 150watthours over its entire lifespan?
