Scientists at MIT develop Electron-Conducting Carbon Concrete, a kind of cement that can store and release electricity like batteries. Aimed for buildings, sidewalks, and other infrastructure, the energy-releasing material is made from four main ingredients: cement, water, ultra-fine carbon black, and electrolytes. The main stars are the carbon black and the electrolytes. For the former, its very small particles can form a conductive nanonetwork inside the concrete, allowing electricity to move through the material.

"Mild imbalances can cause cramping, dizziness, fatigue, or headaches. More severe shifts may lead to confusion or irregular heartbeat, which requires medical attention, not just an electrolyte drink."

Coconut water is naturally packed with potassium, magnesium, and electrolytes. It provides natural hydration without added sugars.

Dill pickle freeze pops are simply frozen dill pickle brine, claiming to help "prevent and treat muscle cramps" while also providing a way to cool down during heat.
