Red bricks can be used as battery-like energy storage devices Turning walls into supercapacitors August 12, 2020 https://www.techspot.com/news/86346-researchers-develop-method-store-energy-red-bricks.html ScienceDaily: Storing energy in red bricks
I once lived in a red brick house as a child. Good for you red bricks, I'm proud of you. And thanks for the years of safe living & protection from the elements. Oh yeah & my parents for paying for the red brick house.
Here here. The same. You go red bricks. My childhood neighborhood had alleys of red brick. Red brick stores, 2 story buildings, and about every wood cottage house had them as walkways.
If it is the same article like in the nature page it seems to be more like wishfull thinking: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17708-1 Peer review for it: https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art:10.1038/s41467-020-17708-1/MediaObjects/41467_2020_17708_MOESM2_ESM.pdf Source (german) https://www.golem.de/news/energiesp...erner-schildbuergerstreich-2008-150273-2.html German source Atleast if I don't mix different storys (which is always possible for me )

For some unknown reason I have always liked red brick construction. Red bricks and cobblestone. Maybe past lives After reading OP I looked online and discovered Malbork Castle. Amazing stuff.
Oh the memories of home. Red bricks stand the test of time. And now even found a place into tech. Hee Hee
They're good for a century with minimal maintenance, and then it's the cement that deteriorates. The bricks last almost forever. If we could make cement like the Romans, the houses could go thousands of years. Roman cement was stronger than what's made today, but what doesn't last longer than stuff made today?
Add at least 400 years to that. This and many other similar ones were built in the 1500's https://changing-guard.com/hampton-court-palace.html Not too sure of their heat storage abilities though
