AI-powered self-healing asphalt: A step toward sustainable net-zero roads

Summary

Nutrition label

87% Informative

A team of scientists from Swansea University and King's College London is designing a new type of self-healing asphalt that can mend its own cracks without the need for maintenance or human intervention.

The team incorporated tiny, porous materials known as spores, which are smaller than a strand of hair and produced by plants.

These spores are filled with recycled oils and released when the asphalt begins to crack, helping to reverse the process.
