Researchers at the University of Virginia have created a new type of 3D-printed concrete that is much stronger and more durable than regular concrete.

The new concrete has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 31 percent when compared to some other non-traditional concrete mixtures.

Researchers still have a way to go before it becomes mainstream and ready for use in the construction world.
