Scientists have worked out how to create a diamond battery that will last thousands

Of years. This is pretty exciting stuff if they can scale it up to EVs etc. especially as we can already lab create diamonds so don’t need to mine them. The energy storage solution that has always been the key to home energy/EVs etc.

And researched in the U.K.! Bravo!
