"radioactive isotope decay with 5.7K year half-life... bio-compatible diamond protective casing ensures safety... captures fast-moving electrons produced during the radioactive decay of carbon-14. This is similar to how solar panels turn light into electricity, but instead, they use the movement of electrons within the diamond. The long lifespan of carbon-14 means the battery can provide power at low levels for thousands of years... μW of power for medical devices/ implants, space exploration, active RF tags"
