University of Missouri researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
Before you freak out, Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and
computer engineering at MU says, “People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and
think of something very dangerous. However, nuclear power sources have
already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as human heart
pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
This likely will be quite important. Professor Kwon’s recent paper submitted to the 15th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (also known this year by its snappier name, Transducers 2009) was awarded the honor of being selected as “outstanding paper” out of the 599 papers admitted out of 1,306 accepted for review to the June conference in Denver, Colo.
