'Super concrete' made with FUNGUS can heal itself if it cracks
Researchers found concrete mixed with a certain fungus could repair itself
Mixing fungus and nutrients in concrete spurs spore growth when cracks appear
This would lead to production of calcium carbonate that then heals the cracks
스스로 균열 봉합하는 곰팡이균 수퍼콘크리트
뉴욕주립대 빙엄턴 대학의 연구자들은 곰팡이균이 들어간 수퍼콘크리트가
균열이 발생할 경우 스스로 봉합할 수 있는 능력이 생긴다는 것을 발견했다.
즉 콘크리트에 곰팡이균과 영양분을 섞으면 균열이 발생할 때 포자 성장을 한다.
이것은 바로 탄산칼슘의 생성으로 이어진다.

As concrete deteriorates over time, even the smallest cracks can pose a major threat to the stability of a structure.
But, a new type of self-healing concrete could put an end to the problem for good, all thanks to fungi.
By mixing in nutrients and a type of fungus called Trichoderma reesei, any cracking in the concrete would cause the production of calcium carbonate, as the activity ‘wakes up’ the dormant fungus and spurs spore growth.
