Over time, concrete will crack and deteriorate. An invention by Delft University microbiologist Hendrik Jonkers offers an innovative approach to creating more stable concrete by adding limestone-producing bacteria to the mix. This self-healing bioconcrete aims to provide a cheap and sustainable solution, markedly improving the lifespan of buildings, bridges and roads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The European Inventor Award is organised by the <strong>European Patent Office (EPO)<\/strong>.
