Self-Healing Roads Pave The Way To A Greener Future
Potholes are a gruesome sight, witnessing how nice roads deteriorate and become almost impossible to drive through is quite distressing. A collaboration of scientists from Chile, Swansea University, and King's College London might are changing this narrative by introducing roads that can self-heal. This achievement is a product of interdisciplinary research and development combining knowledge from domains such as AI, chemistry, civil engineering, and computer science.
In this groundbreaking innovation, biomass waste and other sustainable materials are being used to recreate self-healing properties that are naturally visible in trees, and other living things. As of now, they've utilized AI to to study organic molecules in complex fluids like bitumen and made extensive simulations on their behaviour and performance. Moreover, their laboratory experiments already demonstrate the healing of microcracks in less than an hour.
This innovation is at the forefront of sustainable infrastructure innovation and contributes to net-zero roads. This idea reminds us at idea Fortizo Technologies of Nanoroads; a similar invention idea of ours that makes use of nanotechnology to grant roads self-healing capabilities. It's fascinating that other approaches are proving successful to attaining this same goal.
