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.
