Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power

An electron-conducting carbon concrete (ec³)-based arch structure integrates supercapacitor electrodes for dual functionality. The prototype demonstrates both structural load bearing and the ability to power an LED, with the light’s intensity varying under applied load, highlighting the potential for real-time structural health monitoring via the supercapacitor.

AI stirs up the recipe for concrete in MIT study

MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

A team led by Soroush Mahjoubi, a postdoc in civil and environmental engineering, built a machine-learning framework that evaluates and sorts candidate materials for cleaner concrete based on their physical and chemical properties. “Some of the most interesting materials that could replace a portion of cement are ceramics,” notes Mahjoubi. “Old tiles, bricks, pottery — all these materials may have high reactivity.”
