and shapeability to allow builders to use less of the material without sacrificing strength or longevity.A team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh has re-engineered the concept of concrete for modern-day applications.
Engineers have designed metamaterial concrete for the development of smart civil infrastructure systems. Studies have shown that the material can compress up to 15% under pressure and produce 330 μW of power.The team plans to achieve these goals by introducing a metamaterial paradigm into the development of construction materials for advanced use-case scenarios.
Enough energy is produced to run low-power applicationsStudies have shown that the material is efficient enough to produce the electricity required to power the roadside sensors.Researchers claim the project delivers the first composite material that features properties of compressibility and energy harvesting capabilities.
This is owing to the material’s capability to power “chips embedded inside roads help self-driving cars navigate on highways when GPS signals are too weak or LIDAR is not working.
the “electrical signals self-generated by the metamaterial concrete under mechanical excitations can also be used to monitor damage inside the concrete structure or to monitor earthquakes while reducing their impact on buildings.” Support TechNodeWith a small team.
