Homes into giant batteries: MIT plans energy cement to power your house
MIT and Harvard researchers have developed a groundbreaking innovation that turns concrete into supercapacitors.
In the labs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a team led by Dr. Damian Stefaniuk, lead researcher on the project, has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation that could potentially redefine our approach to energy storage. Developed by researchers at MIT and Harvard, this innovation takes three readily available ingredients – cement, water, and a soot-like substance called carbon black – and transforms them into energy storage devices. These pathways allow the supercapacitor to store large amounts of energy rapidly, making it ideal for capturing excess power from renewable sources like solar and wind.
