A team of researchers at SUNY Poly are building a battery that could last 100 years.
Dr. Shadi Shahedipour-Sandvik’s electrocharacterization lab at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute is bright and buzzing. It’s where she and her students are developing a unique betavoltaic battery that could last 50 to 100 years without needing a change. On this episode of Innovation Hall, we go inside the lab to see how these batteries work.
