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? Picture a bridge exposed to snow, rain, temperature changes ...

In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...

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 ...
