Wild. They are figuring out how to store electricity in ... concrete.
Concrete “battery” developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power
New concrete and carbon black supercapacitors with optimized electrolytes have 10 times the energy storage of previous designs and can be incorporated into a wide range of architectural forms.

Bourbon distillery waste, known as stillage, has been converted into carbon electrodes for supercapacitors, enabling energy storage capacities that rival or exceed commercial devices.
From stillage to storage: Turning bourbon byproducts into supercapacitors
The state of Kentucky produces 95% of the world's bourbon, and all that bourbon leaves behind an enormous amount of waste grain, called stillage.

スーパーキャパシタって地味に賢いなと思うんですよね。リチウム電池積まずにV12を瞬間アシスト。Siánは63台限定、819馬力。ハイブリッドって燃費の話だと思われがちだけど、ランボの場合は完全に加速のためですね。
Everyone thinks hybrid means saving fuel. Lambo went the other way with the Sián, supercapacitors firing the V12 harder. 63 units, 819hp, zero apology.
