material into “smart bricks” that can store
energy like a battery.
• Although the research is still in the proof-
of-concept stage, the scientists claim that
walls made of these bricks “could store a
substantial amount of energy” and can “be
recharged hundreds of thousands of times
within an hour”.

140 nanowatts of power. That’s a billionth the power
requirement of a microprocessor, which other attempts
to make synthetic neurons have used.
• Researchers hope their work could be used in medical
implants to treat conditions such as heart failure and
Alzheimer’s as it requires so little power.
