Dash of nanocarbon black makes conductive, heat-generating concrete

Concrete is pretty useful, which is why it’s the most widely used construction material in the world. But it could be argued that it doesn’t really do anything. Now, engineers have made concrete that can conduct electricity and produce heat, by mixing in nanocarbon black.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Concrete, Electrical, Electricity, Heating, MIT, CNRS, Carbon
