The new material uses capsules of recycled oils to seal micro-cracks, potentially extending road lifespan by 30%.

An international team of researchers is working on an innovative asphalt capable of filling cracks before they turn into potholes. This breakthrough, optimized by artificial intelligence, could be a ...

The exact mechanisms of crack formation in asphalt are not fully understood, but they often originate from the hardening of ...

If you drive or bike, you're probably all too aware of how a nasty pothole (or several) can gnarl an otherwise smooth commute. But what if asphalt roads could repair themselves, preventing the ...

In laboratory experiments, this advanced asphalt material was shown to completely heal a “microcrack” on its surface in less ...

Potholes are something that all of us here in Mid-Michigan are all too familiar with and are just as much of a pain as seasonal allergies. But how do potholes form and how can you protect yourself and ...

From predicting potholes to designing more durable concrete, artificial intelligence is paving the way for smarter ...

Self-healing asphalt roads, made from biomass waste and designed with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), could offer a ...

Adding another element to the mix, freezing temperatures, when the soil underneath the asphalt is ... eventually become a pothole. Driving over that spot will create the pavement to weaken and ...
