TAG1's technology is designed to mirror established generator models in uclear medicine by enabling on-demand, local ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators, or RTGs, have been around for decades — for example, for space missions ranging from the Apollo moonshots to the years-long treks of Mars rovers.

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators can turn heat into electricity using a principle called the Seebeck effect, discovered by German scientist Thomas Seebeck in 1821 .

But technetium-99m has a very short half-life, just six hours or so. Hence why radioisotope-producing facilities send miniature generators containing molybdenum-99 out to hospitals.
