Humans are still learning from nature.
Researchers mimicked ancient fish scales for a 3D-printed concrete structure:
Concrete is a ubiquitous building material, but over time, it may become prone to cracking. In order to ensure the long-term durability and safety of concrete structures, it is essential to prevent or minimize cracking.
Researchers have developed a novel approach to improve the longevity of concrete by increasing its fracture resistance mechanisms.
The Princeton Engineering team used cutting-edge additive manufacturing processes and precision robotic automation to create twisted concrete components. The resulting concrete is stronger and more durable than the standard cast concrete.
