One of those strategies is to create a concrete that “self-heals,” and in a new study, scientists used synthetic lichen to ...

Taking inspiration from Roman concrete “might be a cost-effective way to make our infrastructure last longer through the self-healing mechanisms we illustrate in this study,” Masic tells the ...

A new type of self-healing concrete has debuted in the U.S. market. The concrete, which is called Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete, gets its self-healing properties from bacteria that is mixed into it.

Could so-called ‘hot mixing’, with pockets of reactive lime clasts inside the cured concrete provide self-healing properties? At its core, this is the recipe which any hydraulic cement uses ...

the researchers found that the concrete has self-healing properties thanks to one unassuming ingredient—lime—and the technique used to mix it in. In other words, buildings like the Pantheon ...

Concrete is an excellent and versatile material, but it's not without its limitations. One of the biggest problems materials ...

The concrete is made normally, with bacteria capsules added to the mix. It activates when a crack develops, all per the experts. "The great advantage of self-healing concrete is that the concrete ...

According to new research, scientists have developed an AI-designed concrete that is self-healing and could even help prevent potholes. Concrete is the most widely used construction material on ...

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 ...

The team reports that a grid of BioFibers embedded within a concrete structure can improve its durability, prevent cracks from growing and enable self-healing. “This is an exciting development for the ...

Self-healing concrete (SHC), also known as bio-concrete, is an innovative cement-based material with the remarkable ability to autonomously seal cracks that form due to external stress or ...
