Now, scientists in the UK have used artificial intelligence to design a self-healing asphalt made from biomass waste. What’s ...

Self-healing asphalt roads, made from biomass waste and designed with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), could offer a promising solution to the UK's pothole problem, which is estimated to ...

In a separate project Erik Schlangen, a materials scientist at Delft University in the Netherlands, is developing self-healing asphalt, mixed with tiny steel fibres.

In our first innovation this month, a team of scientists has turned to AI to tackle this commuter scourge, creating a ‘self-healing’ form of asphalt. Staying on the road, our second new technology is ...
