A Massachusetts Institute of Technology team has found a way to make a type of concrete that can store and release electricity.

This means that the concrete walls and sidewalks around us could double as giant batteries, powering lights and devices. About 5 cubic meters of the electron-conducting concrete—the volume of a typical basement wall—can hold enough energy to meet the daily needs of an average American household.

According to the abstract it seems to be a combination of battery and super-capacitator.

(The spellcheck function has suggested that there may be a sinister agenda behind this development. In place of super-capacitator, it suggested super-decapitator instead.)

Hope it pans out it’s the storage of the energy that’s the missing piece!!once that part of the puzzle is sorted out it will be a new world!!!
