Abstract
Global Technologies is working on a nuclear voltaic cell consisting basically of a semiconductor and an amount of radioactive material. By replacing solid semiconductors with molten selenium and molten sulfur, GT´s nuclear battery could run on much more powerful radiation than a beta cell and therefore generate more electricity
