Living cement charge your phone ? The Doctor Who episode writes itself.
By embedding living bacteria into the worldβs most common building material, the team has created a supercapacitor capable of storing electricity. The proof-of-concept material not only holds energy but can also recover its performance when βfedβ with nutrients.Once inside the cement, the microbes create a network of charge carriers that store and release energy.
Early tests suggest the approach already outperforms traditional cement-based storage devices. Even more striking, the cement continues to function after the microbes die, and researchers can bring it back to life with nutrients.
The researchers also tested the cement under extreme conditions. It stored and discharged power in both freezing and hot environments. Six blocks wired together produced enough electricity to light an LED bulb... even modest performance could have an impact. A room made of the material could store around 10 kWh, enough to power a standard enterprise server for a day.
Sounds like quite a leap, but then I guess they don't say how large a block is.

in reply to AladΓ‘r MΓ©zga • • •We are looking for an investor who can loan our holding company 237,000 US dollars.
With this money, we will open a farm in Baku, Azerbaijan to produce animal-based food.
We will also make our own animal feed, so our products will be healthier, better quality, and cheaper.
Because we sell quality products for less and have strong advertising, we will sell more worldwide and make big profits.
Why Azerbaijan? Because animal farming makes a lot of money there, but few people do it. Thatβs why we will earn more by starting in Azerbaijan.
Additionally, by producing our own animal feed, we will be able to sell healthier, higher quality animal products at a lower price.
Since we can sell quality products cheaply and thanks to our strong advertising network, we will be able to sell more internationally and make huge profits.
The reason for establishing the business in Azerbaijan is that animal husbandry is a very profitable business in Azerbaijan, but since there are very few people doing animal husbandry, establishing the farm in Azerbaijan will provide us with more income.
Your profit:
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
Your earnings will be great. When 22.03.2026 comes, you will get your money back as 953.00 US dollars.
You will lend 237,000 US dollars to our holding company and when 22.03.2026 comes, you will receive your money back as 953,000 US dollars.
When 22.03.2026 comes, I will give you back your money in the amount of 953,000 US dollars.
That means you will earn 716,000 US dollars profit in just 6 months.
