Nuclear Diamond Batteries

What Nuclear Diamond Batteries does

Nuclear Diamond Batteries, Inc. (OTC: NDBI) is a Nevada-incorporated, pre-revenue energy technology company developing carbon-14 diamond betavoltaic batteries through its majority-owned subsidiary AtomiQ, Inc. The company is majority-owned by Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS) and operates with a lean team of two from a rented office in Mesquite, Nevada. AtomiQ was formed in November 2024 and concurrently acquired 100% of the intellectual property, patents, and research assets of NDB, Inc. (Nano Diamond Battery), consolidating the core technology platform under the subsidiary.

The core technology extracts Carbon-14 isotopes from nuclear graphite waste and embeds them in synthetic diamond structures with P-N junction architecture. Beta decay from Carbon-14 produces a continuous, low-power electrical current through the betavoltaic effect, with the company claiming a 28,000-year operational lifespan. Multiple layers of synthetic diamond provide radiation shielding and structural integrity. The product portfolio consists of NDB cells and microwatt-class modules targeted at aerospace (CubeSats, deep space probes), medical implants (pacemakers, cochlear implants), industrial IoT, defense and security, infrastructure monitoring, and consumer electronics. Supporting patents cover carbon nano-onion electrode materials and synthesis methods.

The company is in development stage with no commercial production and no recognized revenue. The business model comprises three planned revenue streams: hardware sales of NDB cells and modules, technology licensing to OEMs, and design-in and integration services. Distribution is global through direct enterprise sales and OEM licensing channels, with active MOU discussions cited as a $16M+ first-year revenue pipeline. The company is also pursuing a collaboration with Nusano for radioisotope supply and is actively identifying a manufacturing location to support future commercialization.
