Arkenlight and Axorus are collaborating to create the first artificial neuron powered by a diamond beta-voltage battery made from nuclear waste. Scientists want implants that improve human health so they can function without recharging for decades, according to the New Atlas.
The British company Arkenlight is working with the French company Axorus to explore the possibility of using beta-voltage batteries to power artificial neurons.
These artificial neurons are designed to be inserted into the patient’s nervous system and will perform a variety of functions, including the ability to exchange signals with biological neurons. These artificial neurons can help in the treatment of many diseases.
Arkenlight, founded by scientists at the University of Bristol, has already developed the technology for diamond-based beta-volt batteries. Scientists have developed technology to extract radioactive waste particles from nuclear power plants, specifically grind, and turn them into diamonds that can create useful electricity.
These beta batteries will create energy for decades, maybe more. It all depends on the half-life of the isotope they use. Although these batteries are made from radioactive nuclear waste, scientists believe they will be safe for humans.
These batteries will feed artificial neurons that can be implanted in different parts of the human body. For example, Axorus is currently working on creating an artificial retina. Artificial neurons, along with photodiodes, will be able to pick up light and send a signal to the brain through the optic nerve. In this way, it is possible to recover the vision of people lost with age, although patients will only be able to see everything so far in black and white.
“We have a lot of work to do to be able to present a commercially successful product. However, we hope to be able to show an implant finished with a battery that works as early as 2024, “says Arkenlight CEO Morgan Boardman. Human brain implant. Scientists believe that with this implant, people will be able control a computer using the power of thought.
