First U.S. land-based wave energy project received official approval
Eco Wave Energy (EWP) has received final approval for its first onshore wave energy project in the United States. The installation, previously located in Gibraltar, will be relocated to the Port of Los Angeles.
The project involves the installation of a series of floats on coastal infrastructure. When exposed to waves, they drive hydraulic pistons that pump fluid into a battery. This energy is then converted into electricity using a generator.

Scientists Develop Diamond Battery Powered by Nuclear Energy, Lasting 5,700 Years
Scientists from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority have unveiled the world’s first diamond battery, powered by the radioactive decay of carbon-14.
The battery harnesses radiation from carbon-14, which is trapped in an artificial diamond to generate electricity. While similar to solar panels, this battery uses fast-moving electrons from radioactive decay instead of sunlig
