It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.

Chinese scientists are leveraging americium, long written off as nuclear waste, as part of a reaction breakthrough that could ...

This device is nuclear- and solar-powered and offers scope for keeping its charge on a decades-long basis. The micronuclear battery incorporates americium 243 isotopes into a luminescent lanthanide ...

The proposed micronuclear battery is made up of americium, a man-made radioactive element produced during the fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear reactors. It is often considered as a ...
