At Zeno, we're developing an next-generation radioisotope power system (RPS) that operates by converting the heat from decaying radioisotopes directly into electricity - providing always-on, resilient power in the W-kW range for years at a time. NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense have historically used RPSs, but the cost or weight of these systems limited their broader usability. Zeno's patented and demonstrated design results in an affordable and lightweight RPS - opening up broad usability in commercial and government operations.
