They\'ve fully characterized formulation of the nano-carbon black concrete admixture to make something with unlimited breakthrough potential for fully electrifying civilization, the built out part of it anyway. The nano-carbon in combination with the concrete production process creates a super-capacitor of fairly enormous effective plate area. In addition to energy storage, the bulk material can be used as a large spatial heating element for building components such as floors radiant heating. They\'ve identified and determined ways of controlling the \'tortuosity\' of current flow, which is a ratio of current path to physical geometric least Euclidean path length, making for very efficient economy of material use. Although it doesn\'t look like there\'s going to be much need for home heating the way things are going- maybe possibly Europe when the Gulf Stream, in danger of imminent collapse, comes to a halt.
