Probably because the basic principles have been around for quite some
time, and there are some drawbacks. So wikipedia is at least a little
bit informative:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaics
Moreover, every new miraculous discovery is over-hyped. Here's a more
skeptical view:
http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/02/1231202
This is not to say that these aren't interesting or won't become
important, but I'm guessing this isn't going to be a technology that
will sweep the field anytime soon.
