What is it about?
A process called "direct energy conversion", as it converts moving nuclear particle's kinetic energy into electric energy, without using the actual nuclear-thermo-mechano-electric conversion process, but direct nuclear into electric energy. It presents the previous work and the novel idea and developments as well the applications of ultra-high strategic and practical importance.

Why is it important?
Creating a high power, compact fission battery with conversion efficiency over 90% and power density over 10 kW per cubic centimeter, where the maximum actual power density is under 200 W/cc is important for space, under-water, air applications.
Perspectives
The ideas presented here will finally be seriously considered by the nano-materials community, and developed into applications, among those are power supplyes for directed energy devices in space, that will render the actual nuclear weapon delivery system race unpractical, and end MAD and all related nuclear threats, while in civil applications will be good for space and air travel, with flying spaceports and nuclear powered maritime transport.
