From MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Written by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office, 02/08/23 Two of humanity’s most ubiquitous historical materials, cement and carbon black (which resembles very fine charcoal), may form the basis for a novel, low-cost energy storage system, according to a new study. The technology could facilitate the use of renewable energy sources […]
