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? We’re part of a team of materials scientists and microbiologists that has harnessed the power of bacteria to create biological fibers that initial results suggest can heal cracks in concrete.
