A little while ago MIT published a paper on Concrete Supercapacitors - and you all asked us to look a little deeper into it. What does this simple, cheap energy storage solution mean, how could it work, and how good is it?

We run the numbers and see whether this technique could revolutionize renewable, clean energy storage.
