Diamond Batteries Made of Nuclear Waste Can Generate Power For Thousands of Years
'In Brief
Scientist have developed an ingenious means of converting nuclear power plant waste (76,430 metric tons in the US alone) into sustainable diamond batteries.
These long-lasting batteries could be a clean and safe way to power spacecraft, satellites, and even medical devices.'

We've been discussing this elsewhere, and the power generated per unit weight or unit volume is miniscule. These would be great if you want a dim light to run for 10,000 years. Not so useful for phones or cars or anything else that needs to be portable.
