Hold onto your holographic caps because researchers in Japan have managed to turn depleted uranium into futuristic rechargeable batteries. According to IEEE.org, Scientists at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have been working to turn the depleted uranium waste products of nuclear power generation into batteries designed to be recharged by renewables.
Sadly, this doesn't mean we'll be emptying leftover cans of drink and banana peels into our fuel canisters anytime soon. Instead, the plan is to recharge these batteries using established renewable sources like wind and solar. The hope here is to turn the depleted uranium waste into a useful resource that doesn't create anymore of its kind. This depleted uranium is going to break the generational abuse cycle.
