Concrete may seem strong and permanent, but it can be surprisingly vulnerable to the elements. Now researchers at Drexel University have demonstrated a type of self-healing concrete embedded with ...
A scientist who figured out the secret behind ancient Rome's self-repairing concrete has recently confirmed his theory at a ...
Self-healing materials can autonomously repair damage and make bridges, roads, and aircraft more durable and sustainable.
Concrete is an incredibly useful and versatile building material on which not only today’s societies, but also the ancient Roman Empire was built. To this day Roman concrete structures can be found in ...
Some say there are two types of concrete – cracked and on the brink of cracking. But what if when concrete cracked, it could heal itself? Picture a bridge exposed to snow, rain, temperature changes ...
We could soon have roads and highways that require fewer repairs and even help reduce carbon emissions. According to new research, scientists have developed an AI-designed concrete that is ...
Next-gen concrete may have skin-like qualities if Texas A&M experts successfully bring their self-repairing product to market. The researchers have developed a synthetic lichen that can fix cracks in ...
Concrete is one of the quiet foundations of modern life, yet it is also one of the dirtiest materials humanity produces. A new generation of bio-concrete aims to flip that script, using living ...
In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...
Ancient Roman concrete is known as some of the strongest in history, and a new study finally explains why. MIT researchers studied the self-healing properties of the concrete mix. Extreme temperatures ...
Regular listeners know I have two main frustrations with the highway system. Number one, the state needs to cover the graffiti with artificial ivy, and number two, the concrete keeps cracking. I admit ...
