Erik Schlangen: A "self-healing" asphalt
Description
Ted Talk:
Paved roads are nice to look at, but they're easily damaged and costly to repair. Erik Schlangen demos a new type of porous, asphalt made of simple materials with an astonishing feature: When cracked, it can be "healed" by induction heating. (Filmed at TEDxDelft.) TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.
