Battery Storage Science. Battery Storage from Sand.

What is happening? Two Finnish scientists built a battery from sand that stores electricity from wind and solar.

Why is this important? Unlike lithium batteries, these sodium based batteries do not contaminate soil, groundwater, and surface water, harming surrounding ecosystems.

How will this be important? Sodium is more readily available and cheaper.
