Coating red bricks with conductive polymers turns them into supercapacitors. The resulting treated walls could act as a low-cost version of something like the Powerwall. Red bricks contain conductive ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are trying to fundamentally change your impression of the good ol' red brick. Yes, the red bricks often used in construction material, the ones that ...

This is quite possibly one of the largest game-changing discoveries of the last few decades, where scientists have effectively turned red bricks into supercapacitors. How? By coating the bricks with a ...

Brick walls might some day power your lights and laptop, thanks to a new technique that converts building blocks into battery-like devices (Nat. Commun. 2020, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-17708-1). By ...

The red pigment in bricks can be converted into a plastic that conducts electricity, allowing researchers from Washington University to turn bricks into electricity storage devices. Common red masonry ...
