RE: Self-repairing concrete for live fungus.

in Popular STEM2 months ago

Truth is not a destination, but a path – and science is our compass. Technology transforms that knowledge into tangible progress. Together, they open doors to a future that seemed unthinkable just yesterday.

I first read about self-healing concrete weeks ago – a fascinating idea. But is it already part of our future, or still just a compelling illusion?
The thought of fungi growing in concrete – and by extension, within the human environment – raises questions. Innovation must not only function, but be compatible with life.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but true progress reveals itself not just through awe, but through its ability to coexist with the living world.

Sort:  

Of course, that and all technologies must be continually studied, from various points of view; to see if it is compatible with life.

It will not be like asbestos, which was initially everywhere until years later they determined that it was a very oncological material, to name one, we currently have several materials, and humanity has not realized it.

Thanks, and greetings.
