TechJuiceDrones That Can Fly For 30 Years? DARPA May Have Made A Breakthroughtechjuice.pkThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Morgan State University a $3.37 million contract to develop advanced radiovoltaic systems. These convert radioactive decay into electrical power. The program, called SYMPHONEE (Strontium-Yttrium Multi-junction PIN-based High-Density Output Nano-system for Extreme Environments), advances DARPA’s Rads to Watts initiative targeting compact, high-density energy sources lasting decades without refueling.
