Concrete that stores electricity could transform building infrastructure

Researchers have engineered concrete embedded with potassium iodide to store electrical energy efficiently, turning structural materials into functional batteries. If scaled, the technology could enable buildings to store renewable power, reduce grid demand, and cut infrastructure costs by eliminating separate battery systems.
