Indian-origin man tests self-repairing roads in K'taka
Nemkumar Banthia, an Indian-origin professor based in Canada, has tested a self-repairing road in Thondebavi (90 kilometres from Bengaluru). These roads are made of fibres with a nano-coating that attracts water. Combining with unhydrated cement, this water enables cracks to heal and keeps the roads hydrated. The road, completed in late 2015, has survived almost a year without any problems.
