Cranes are a familiar fixture of practically any city skyline, but one in the Swiss City of Ticino, near the Italian border, would stand out anywhere: It has six arms. This 110-meter-high starfish of the skyline isn''t intended for construction. It''s meant to prove that renewable energy can be stored by hefting heavy loads and dispatched by releasing them.

Sand has multiple advantages over Li-ion as a source of battery energy storage. The material is easier and more sustainable to source than many hard-to-mine minerals Li-ion batteries rely on.
