New concrete battery delivers 10x energy boost, turns buildings into giant power banks

SMRTR summary

MIT scientists developed a concrete battery called ec3 that can store 10 times more energy than previous versions, requiring only 5 cubic meters to power a home daily instead of 45 cubic meters. This breakthrough transforms ordinary concrete walls and structures into massive energy storage systems that could support renewable energy by storing power when the sun isn't shining.
