A concrete mix containing microcapsules filled with bacteria would germinate when water entered a crack, allowing the mixture to heal itself, filling the crack. More than 7 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide output is caused by cement production, according to Phys.org, so in addition to cost savings, the technology could also reduce air pollution.
