Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new form of conductive concrete capable of storing and releasing electrical energy, potentially allowing everyday structures such as walls, bridges, and pavements to double as energy storage systems. The material, called electron-conducting carbon concrete (ec³), combines cement, water, carbon black, and electrolytes to form a conductive network that can function like a supercapacitor. Recent refinements have increased its energy capacity by nearly tenfold, reducing the volume of material needed to power a home from about 45 cubic meters to just five. The team achieved the improvement by studying how…
