About this report
Arkenlight Limited is a UK-based deep-tech spin-off from the University of Bristol, founded in 2020 by Professors Tom Scott and Neil Fox to commercialize their patented diamond-based nuclear battery technology . Headquartered in Bristol (registered address in London), this private limited company employs a few dozen specialists in advanced materials and nuclear science .
Its core mission is to develop ultra-long-life “diamond batteries” powered by recycled radioisotopes (e.g. carbon-14 from nuclear reactor graphite), intended to provide maintenance-free power for sensors and IoT devices in harsh or remote environments .
Key questions this report answers
- What diamond-based nuclear battery technology does Arkenlight develop using recycled radioisotopes such as carbon-14?
- What is the readiness of these ultra-long-life 'diamond batteries' for maintenance-free power in harsh or remote sensor and IoT applications?
- What partnerships, University of Bristol origins and dual-use markets support Arkenlight?
- What capability gaps and supply dependencies (e.g. radioisotope feedstock) confront the company?
