The team’s approach in creating BioFibers was inspired by skin tissue’s self-healing capability and vasculature system’s role in helping organisms heal their own wounds. And it uses a biological ...

One of those strategies is to create a concrete that “self-heals,” and in a new study, scientists used synthetic lichen to patch cracks autonomously (meaning that outside nutrients don’t need to be ...

Concrete cracks are no small matter. Over time, these fractures can grow, letting in water, gas, and pollution.

The concept of self-healing concrete represents a major stride towards more sustainable and resilient infrastructure. This innovative class of materials integrates healing agents—such as ...
