In a world first, a research team at the University of Newcastle has developed an energy storage system which could revolutionise the future of renewable energy.
The team, led by Professor Erich Kisi has been working on ways of blending metals and non-metals into a modular form which is capable of storing energy when heated.
The modular blocks resemble a brick and can store energy generated from wind and solar power more safely than traditional battery storage methods.
The invention is on the verge of becoming a commercial reality.
