Waterproof Concrete
This new coating protects concrete from water-related damage, one of the biggest causes of failure and wear in buildings and roads. The coating is actually a powder of materials which fill in the cracks and voids in the concrete, and form a strong, impenetrable layer on the outside of the concrete. While the implications of this new technology may not be super wide reaching (crack prevention in other materials?), the ability to extend the life of a concrete structure may save loads of money for businesses and governments.
