Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a new supercapacitor that could be a game-changer in energy storage for renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and tidal power.
If every house were to implement this energy storage "solution", a single dielectric failure could lead to a sizeable chain reaction and release of energy, as adjacent houses suffered mechanical shock and failure.
Made of cement, carbon black, and water, the device could provide cheap and scalable energy storage for renewable energy sources. Two of humanity's most
