Scientists Turn Normal Red Bricks into Electricity-Storing Supercapacitors

Scientists modified a common red brick—the same kind you’ll find on sale for under a dollar at your local hardware store—so that it could power a green LED light. This proof-of-concept for a “smart brick” reveals that brick technology, which dates back thousands of years, can be tweaked to have futuristic applications, including electrical conductivity and sensing capabilities.

Like Tesla using roof real estate for panels, perhaps our walls will become our storage in future years?

Batteries disguised as bricks....

How cool is that!

Getting closer to the ideal home power generation day-by-day.

Sadly, I fear that this too will disappear into the aether, like all other good inventions.
