MIT and Harvard Researchers Develop Concrete Battery With Promising Potential. 'At first I didn't believe it'
24 Jul 2024 | Abstracted from The Cool Down
"...the science turns concrete into supercapacitors using carbon black, water, and cement - all cheap ingredients that could lower the cost of renewable energy storage.
"I thought that I hadn't disconnected the external power source, and that was why the LED was on."
"...next step in research that could help to provide more storage capacity for intermittent renewable energy, now providing more than 20% of U.S. electricity."
