New ‘smart’ cement mixtures could turn buildings into batteries. Buildings, bridges, street lamps and even curb-stones could be turned into cheap batteries with the discovery of new cement mixtures.
Researchers at Lancaster University have created a new smart cement mixture that is able to store electrical energy and can monitor its own structural health. Made from flyash and chemical solutions, the novel potassium-geopolymetric (KGP) composites are cheaper than Ordinary Portland Cement, the most widely used construction material. They are easy to produce and, because conductivity is achieved by potassium ions hopping through the crystalline structure, it does not need any complex or expensive additives.
Alternative smart concretes rely on expensive additives such as graphene and carbon nano-tubes and, in addition to cost, these technologies do not scale up well preventing use in large structures.

Revolutionary Israeli-Developed Paint Can Absorb Sun’s Hot Rays and Cool Buildings Down. Coating materials that protect against fire, water or extreme temperatures are nothing new.
But an Israeli high-tech paint doesn’t just protect surfaces from the sun. SolCold actually uses the sun’s power to activate a cooling mechanism, effectively providing air conditioning without electricity. You read that right: This double-layered coating absorbs the hot rays of the sun and re-emits that energy in the form of cold. The hotter the solar radiation the more the coating cools down, making SolCold’s paint a potentially game-changing electricity-free solution for intensely sunny climates such as Africa and Central and South America. The Herzliya-based startup is raising funds and plans to begin trials within 18 months of closing the Series A round in the first quarter of 2018. SolCold’s product is generating interest for coating anything from chicken coops to cargo ships, malls to stadiums, cars to planes, satellites to hothouses, military equipment to apartment houses.
Chicago learns from other cities' experiences to develop CityKey. Membership cards, credit cards, transit cards, security badges and various identification for other products and services make our wallets increasingly fatter.
But Chicago is joining a number of cities in introducing an all-in-one municipal ID card — dubbed CityKey — that will allow residents to leave many of their existing cards at home. New Haven, CT sparked the municipal ID trend more than a decade ago when it took the controversial step of offering undocumented immigrants an identification card that would allow them to take advantage of certain city services such as using the library, opening a utility account or opening a bank account. The concept has evolved substantially since that time, but cities often fight the misconception that the cards are only for undocumented immigrants; they’re actually for everyone, especially populations that have difficulty obtaining ID cards. Chasing the Holy Grail of battery storage, scientists test solid state magnesium electrolyte.

Better, Faster Food. The Superpedestrian Copenhagen Wheel lives up to the hype (Review) : TreeHugger. In which I get to put this long awaited drop-in e-bike conversion wheel through its paces, and find it to be electrifying. In the current market, those who are considering going electric on their bicycles have a lot of choices, ranging from incredibly cheap crowdfunded bikes to top-of-the-line electric cargo bikes to drop-in e-bike conversions, and while that variety can make it challenging to sort through to find the right e-bike, it also ensures that there are appropriate e-bikes available for almost every situation. Although a purpose-built electric bike with all of the bells and whistles may be the best choice for some riders, others may want a large cargo capacity, while still others may be looking for a way to keep the bike they love while adding an electric drive system to it.
