Firebricks have been around for at least 3,000 years. But MIT researchers think this ancient technology could help us transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. They worked out a scheme where excess electricity, such as that produced when the wind is blowing or sun is shining, could be converted into heat and stored in the firebricks for later use.
