 April 28, 2017 - 6:14pm | This Week In Science is an actual program occasionally I get to listen to while working... but it is a good thread idea, and might get the inspirational juices of the brain flowing... please post cool, weird, interesting science, technology, and so on. So I will start http://mashable.com/2017/04/25/uc-riverside-makes-batteries-out-of-glass/#PlfQo1OrSOq0 Basically they are using recycled glass to make a new kind of battery... just cool.

Bio-concrete is dead concrete infused with bacteria that awaken when cracks appear. Then, they produce limestone that fills the cracks in a matter of weeks. The concrete lasts for 200 years and self-activates if damage occurs.

 May 4, 2017 - 5:31am | I always wonder how they know how long something lasts when they have no way of actually testing the length of time like 200 years. Any testers out there know the answer? Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
May 4, 2017 - 5:39am | They can do various stress testing to simulate the effects of aging, but, yeah, you'd need a long term test too to see if it actually works. Maybe the Eorna would have had self-healing crystal buildings, which would explain why some of their ruins still survive. Joe Cabadas |
