Concrete is the world’s most popular building material, but the material’s durability deteriorates over years allowing for potentially devastating consequences. One researcher from Delft University of Technology, Henk Jonkers, has made it his mission to combat this issue by developing a “living concrete.”
Jonkers’ development has produced a new type of concrete that can fix its own cracks by using a bacteria healing agent.
“We are combining nature with construction materials,” said Jonkers.
