Nanowatt Power Sources

Features

• Long-life betavoltaic and radioisotope micro-power for always-on sensors and nano-devices.
• Typical output: 10 nW to several microwatts
• Must equal or exceed average power draw over time for energy autonomy
• Radioisotope sources can provide stable power for 10–20+ years

Typical Products

• RF, solar, and vibration energy harvesters
• Thermoelectric generators

Typical Applications

• “Set and forget” industrial sensors
• Long-duration medical implants
• Persistent environmental monitoring networks
• Battery-free IoNT (Internet of Nano Things) devices

The most powerful innovations emerge at the intersection of low power draw and long-life nuclear. Nanowatt nuclear power sources enable long-life IoNT sensors that can operate for decades without maintenance.
