Researchers say new material could let cars be powered by their bodywork
It likely won’t be ready for your next vehicle purchase, but some researchers from Imperial College London say that this rather modest-looking piece of material could eventually do nothing short change of the way that cars are powered. The material itself is still a bit of a mystery, as you might expect, but it’s apparently able to store and discharge electrical energy, and (here’s the real kicker) is strong and light enough to be used for a car’s bodywork — essentially making the car itself one giant battery.
