US Nuclear Fusion Startup To Build Radioactive Batteries For Use In Space
Authored by Ameya Paleja via Interesting Engineering,
Avalanche Energy, a fusion energy startup, has won a $5.2 million contract to build radioactive batteries that can power a laptop-class system for months. The contract is part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Rads to Watts Program, which aims to build next-generation, compact, resilient nuclear batteries with higher densities.
An early prototype of Avalanche Energy’s radiovoltaic converter for the DARPA Rads to Watts program is exposed to high-energy ion-beam irradiation.Avalanche Fusion

The quantum threat: Real, but not immediate
Ethereum relies on cryptographic systems that remain secure against classical computers. However, sufficiently advanced quantum machines could one day break these systems, potentially exposing private keys and putting billions of dollars in value at risk.
Ethereum’s post-quantum initiative sends a clear message: there is no immediate threat, yet delaying action is not an option.
Upgrading a global, decentralized network is a complex, multiyear effort that requires:
protocol redesign
ecosystem-wide coordination
comprehensive testing and...
