Researchers at MIT have developed a new type of concrete that can store electricity, potentially turning entire buildings into giant batteries. This innovative technology could play a crucial role in addressing the challenge of storing renewable energy. The concrete, which is still in the experimental phase, has shown promising results in laboratory tests conducted in Cambridge, Massachusetts. If successfully scaled up, this energy-storing concrete could revolutionize the construction industry and contribute significantly to sustainable energy solutions.
